<They have been quite silent on their die size advantage - ever since their Opteron launched at a 42% LARGER soze than Intel's current Pentium 4>

http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030623/p4_3200-02.html says that the Northwood "A" core is 146 mm. Again, according to THG, Opteron is 193mm. That difference is 32%, not 42%.

Opteron is a server/workstation chip and should be compared to Xeon, Xeon MP and Itanium.
