Opteron 144 vs Athlon64 3800+

[krazieaznboi]

okay, so i have 2 processor here but i can't find the better one.

Operton 144 venus core, 1.8ghz, L2 cache 1mb, 90nm, HT 1000mhz

Athlon64 3800+ venice core, 2.4ghz, L2 cache 512kb, 90nm, HT 2000mhz

which one is the victor?

opteron.... i've seen 2.8GHz @ 1.45Vcore

well, if your talking in freqwise, the athlon64 3800+ would be better. their ocability is the same, and since the athlon64 3800+ stock is at 2.4ghz, the athlon64 3800+ will get higher freq.

oh lol it was a 3800+ i thought i saw 3200+, cuz opteron blasts it to ****, but iono if its a 3800+, maybe i would go with the opty still

 

[krazieaznboi]

i would go for an opty too, but i just want to see what the members in TF thinks

opteron >>>>>> athlon.

plus they are made for servers, and are way more efficent.

I had an Opteron 144 in my last build, it was decent. Get good RAM and a good mobo if you want to overclock it. That and you can pick them up for like $50 on eBay, if I still had mine I'd sell it to ya for that.
Plus, they have more L2 cache (1 MB), and something about onboard memory control (dunno what that is all about).
Like bmx said, its a server processor, so its got better 'stuff' built into the chip.
That and when they were brand new the were quite pricey (years ago).

i have the DFI NF4-D, its a kickass board. probably one of the best boards i have ever used.
