16 threads don't equal twice the processing power. The performance boost 2 threads give is fake. Like smoke and mirrors you can't get power from something that isn't there. As apose to 12 real physical cores with 12 threads. Your getting real world performance for half the cost. Means you could have used 4 socket boards to get 48 real cores of power for the same price as a dual socket intel. Intel doesn't have quad socket boards on newegg, amd does, for 12 real core cpus. Thats more then 50% the power then a intel system. Intel is a joke. AMD beats intel in every way in the server area its physical fact.
If anybody thinks 16 cores with 16 fake cores can beat even 24 real cores they get a for being derp, and 48 real cores impossible intel can even compete with, if you think so, you get a double... Also price per performance ratio amd wins by 50%. Thats madness. AMD is the real smart choice for real processing power. Wow intresting intel's 8 core cpu's run at 130w and amd's 12 core cpu's run at 115w. Not only does amd have more power, they use less power consumption with more cores.
The moment you find out why people keep swallowing the Intel propaganda, rather than buy quality you let me know.
CCP, you're pretty daft for buying Intel. It's been known for a very long time that AMD are superior but you keep buying Xeon's. You getting kickbacks from Intel for not buying AMD or you just love wasting money?

There's your precious AMD chip in a database test.
Other wise, as someone who understands what all of that is: Nice toys :)
Seconding the guy above who mentioned Greenplum. Stuff is sick (And cost effective).
A company that is buying thousands of CPU's only looks at one graph? I'm surprised you didn't post some gaming benchmark.

Originally by: Hawk TT CCP, now you have to look at Intel Xeon X5698 Dual-Core 4.4GHz and X569X @ 4.66GHz...
I suppose those would be nice match for the SOL nodes...
Spoiler Alert!!!
Watch my very short 2 min section of the Keynote today at 15:00...
All I can say right now... but there is way! more to come.
You could also do your bit by not supporting a rogue apartheid regime.
