Has anyone seen any performance metrics comparing the Opteron 6-core Istanbul class processor aginst the 4-core Xeon e5500 series processor, esp running a dataase? Or has anyone compared these 2 processor options before ordering a Postgres server?
The 6 core processor should offer a clear edge but these AMD processors are cited for relatively slow L3 cache speeds compared to their Intel counterparts. 4-Core Intel Xeon E5520 (2.26 GHz) Processor VS 6-Core AMD Opteron Model 2425 HE (2.1GHz} Processor Any comments? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
