I am planning to buy a workstation with the fastest processor available. Currently, i have a Xeon 5160. I am confused between the two : AMD Opteron 2389 and Xeon W5580 (that's Nehalem, right?).
Also, is Opteron faster than Xeon 5160? Any suggestions, ideas, benchmarkings available? Thanks in advance! |

Hi there
There is good information in the benchmarks from Fluent (Ansys). See http://www.fluent.com/software/fluent/fl6bench/new.htm It looks as if the Nehalem is much faster than Shanghai. I would not go for a Xeon 5160. Your final choice must evaluate total system cost (especially RAM). good luck |
