I Can't read german so that entire review just makes my head hurt bigtime.. (plus it's bed time). I can read the graphs though, Anyone (or many of you) who CAN read german care to take a looksie, The results of 2ghz barc vs 2.33ghz Xeon look more impressive than the other 2 reports, interested in why it may be.

Because they are exercising server workloads, and AMD's dual socket interconnect fairs better than Intel's dual FSB.... on CPU bound workloads, this is not the case... i.e. Desktop.

AMD will be competitive winning some losing some on server applications, and will fall short on DT....

Core for core, clock for clock -- Barcey improved about 15% over K8... this is short of the Core advantage by 5-10%....
