AMD processors are the way ahead?
If you want to claim you’ve got the best web-serving hardware on the market, you best be sure your SPEC results are up to scratch. The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) is the referee in the heavyweight battle between AMD and Intel, an objective third party whose sole mission in life is to cut through the reams of marketing hyperbole spewed out by hardware companies. It does this using a variety of proprietary benchmarks, and when it comes to servers, its SPECweb2005 test is regarded by many as the ultimate measuring stick. And today AMD announced that machines powered by its Opteron processors now hold the fastest SPECweb2005 results for 2P and 4P servers.
I was looking for some performance statistics about AMD and VMWare, and came across this article talking about AMD and web servers. It’s an interesting read, remember though that the performance is dependent on the application configuration and code, the other elements of the infrastructure, the network, disk, system bus etc.
