Re: Floating Point comparison G5 vs. Opteron (64-bit) question





Some short descriptions on the Opteron core, incl FPU:

http://www4.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030422/opteron-04.html
http://www.top500.org/ORSC/2002/opteron.html

The top 500 site has a nice comparison of a wide variety of processors.

The G5 (aka PowerPC 970) is quite similar to a single core Power4 with reduced cache size and vmx added on. According to the site, IBM recommends a single core version of Power4 for HPC to avoid resource contention in the caches and front side bus.
