Re: AMS vs Xeon

Though hardly independent, Sun has a chart showing SPECfp_rate2000 results of 
their Sun Fire X4200 Server against comparable Xeon based models from IBM, 
Dell and HP (http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x4200/).

They didn't even bother comparing their 4 processor Sun Fire V40z  
(http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v40z/index.jsp) to a Xeon...they compared 
it to an Itanium, IBM Power4 and DEC Alpha
