It's hard to argue that Xeon has a competitive advantage here. This might change down the road, but it's certainly not the case right now.

I'm not arguing Xeon. I'm talking P4 and in a single CPU system they do have an advantage in speed and they are available now. Opteron is unavailable until July in the systems benchmarked. I expect Intel may have a new release by July and extend the lead. In a 2-way system it's clear Opteron has the lead and will keep it at least through this processor generation.
