I'm thinking of upgrading my AMD3500 to a dual core AMD processor.
Is there any noticeable difference between these?
AMD Athlon 64X2 3800+ Dual Core S939 Manchester (2x512K cache)
AMD Athlon 64X2 4200+ Dual Core S939 Manchester (2x512k cache)
AMD Athlon 64X2 4400+ Dual Core S939 Toledo (2x1MB cache)
AMD Athlon 64X2 4600+ Dual Core S939 Manchester (2x512k cache)
Surprisingly, in my tests, a 4600+ Manchester core beats a 4800+ Toledo.
I do not recall the cache size on the 4800+s but all my 4600+s have 2x512.
I tested extensively using PostgreSQL on kernel 2.6.14 in 64-bit mode as
well as a number of custom apps. I did not run mysql however, so the
results might be meaningless for your workload.
For my purposes, the 4600+ give more performance/$ even though they are
slower on paper. The difference was relatively small however, and the
biggest impact on speed came from using a gcc CVS/SVN snapshot.
