I ran both machines for a couple of years before my dissatisfaction over other things finally prompted me to mothball the AMD machine. To this day, I won\'t even consider an AMD processor-based machine.

Memory doesn\'t serve me well enough to be able to quote exact clock speeds and whatnot, but I do remember that I came to the same conclusion as others on this thread... that the mathmatic units on the two supposedly-comparable chips were wildly out-of-sync, with the Intel chip being the better of the two, by far.

On some projects, the L2 cache size plays a very big factor in WU runtimes, even when FLOPs in benchmark test are similar. This could be another example of that.
