Re: InfoWorld review -- One of the reviewers was clearly biased by financial conflict. This was not a workstation test. This was a HyperThreading PC test (and hatchet job). Perhaps then the reviewer would have been sent an Opteron 2P server e325 optimized for that work.
Well, there is a thing out there they call "peer review". This article would never pass any. No numbers, no reproducible testing techniques. Just a bunch of random sensationalism thrown together. Somehow when reading the article my BS detector goes way off the scale.
Any financial conflict or not - the authors are clowns who cannot put together a decent piece of FUD that would at least appear plausible to a person with traces of common sense.
