wmbz, I'm kind of surprised over the negative reaction I see here in several posters with regard to the Intel model numbering scheme. We have long complained about the Mhz Myth, and how Intel should get away from that scheme.

Neither the Opteron model scheme or the Intel model scheme is a TPI number. They are simple model numbers with performance comparable within a class but not easily between classes (what is the relative performance of a 4-way 842 vs. a 2-way 242 system?). What's the deal with the second digit, X4X, anyhow? What does it mean? It seems to indicate Opteron, just as the first digit in the Intel scheme indicates the family of processors.

I am glad Intel is finally admitting the bankruptcy of the Mhz Myth.
