subzero, I agree that AMD cannot keep quantispeed ratings the same when the Intel CPU performance is a moving target. What I meant to say is that they'll probably have a benchmark suite ready for server apps and use that to derive a quantispeed rating for the opterons. Now, I believe that AMD gives a cpu a quantispeed rating based on the PROJECTED Thunderbird performance but they definitely want to position their cpus against the Intel lineup. I am sure that when they come up with a 3000+ rating it will match well against the 3000+Mhz Cpu that Intel will be shipping at that time.
