For equivalent ghz, what's the difference likely to be *from the perspective of webserving*? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
Well, it has more cache and a faster bus speed. These two make a huge difference in the overall speed and responsiveness of a computer (especially as far as integer operations go, which is what web serving is). Percentage wise, it depends on the speed of the CPUs, but I would hazard a guess of around 25%.
