STOP THE MADNESS!!!
Do _not_ use the Xeon as an example of how a SPARC would
perform versus the Opteron. The Interconnect of the Xeon and
Opteron are extremely different! So don't use them in the
same context.
I'm begging! ;->
NOTE: There is a major reason why Sun is switching to
Opteron. SPARC can't match it interconnect-wise, at least up
to 8x S940. Beyond 8x S940, things change.
