Thanks Anand for answering my request (I'm sure one of many) for 2P opteron comparisons to the PentiumD. Dualcore opterons vs dualcore pentium Ds will do just fine... Although April 21st seems like a long ways away ;) Please give some guidance on availability at the time of that review for both dualcore lines as well as anything you can give us on Toledo.
Sounds like SOMEONE is waiting for his dual-core Opteron to come in the mail. Guess you found out about the ship date moving up before the rest of us...
Wouldn't mind seeing a 4 core Opteron vs 4 core Xeon review, either (hint, hint). It would really provide a lot of good advice on whether the Xeon's FSB problems are as bad as imagined.
Cool. Although you are not doing 2P vs Dual Core, do address a burning question I have in mind...
VIA C3 Dual Core, AMD Toledo, Intel Yonah and Smithfield. How do you see each company's move with their processor architectures and how do you think will VIA's Dual Core affect the market balance that is Intel/AMD?
There's one obvious comparison you've left out of the dual core articles so far... dual cpu systems! I'm very interested to know how much of a performance difference there is between a dual core intel cpu and a dual intel cpu system. Theoretically with opteron there should be minimal performance difference where with intel there could be quite a bit due to the differing bus architectures. Are any future articles going to make this comparison?
Love and respect your site. My younger brother since the inception of your site has always been sending me snippets of AT's reviews. I would usually come online, read the reviews and make my buying decision.
Recently I asked myself who is Mr. Anand. I was pleasantly surprised to learn what makes you tick in your blogs and certain third party news sites. Thanks for shedding light on the influence of manufacturers, its something Ive thought about but as you mentioned didnt think was a factor in AT's reviews.
I bet it feels good to take the night off with your wife and just relax. You have outdone yourself (as always) with the dual-core articles and I think you deserve every bit of rest you can get.
Have fun Anand and I hope you are feeling a bit light-hearted after the previous blog post. Feel free to open your heart to us loyal readers. We will always stand up for you. :)

Not to go OT, but does anybody else get a "WinOpen is not defined" javascript error when trying to read the user comments in Anand's blog in FireFox?traire - Thursday, April 7, 2005 - link
