These benchmarks are all done using 64 bit linux: http://tweakers.net/reviews/646 Best regards, Arjen On 7-12-2006 11:18 Mindaugas wrote:
Hello, We're planning new server or two for PostgreSQL and I'm wondering Intel Core 2 (Woodcrest for servers?) or Opteron is faster for PostgreSQL now? When I look through hardware sites Core 2 wins. But I believe those tests mostly are being done in 32 bits. Does the picture change in 64 bits? And I also remember that in PostgreSQL Opteron earlier had huge advantage over older Xeons. But did Intel manage to change picture now?
