[H]ardNews 2nd Edition

Opteron Gaming @ AT:

I totally missed this over at AnandTech on the 24th. Anand took the time to throw a PCI card into one of their Opteron rigs and share their results. A great read for sure and maybe gives a good look into nForce3 performance and Athlon64 later this year.

If AMD can launch the Athlon 64, even at 2GHz, it could be competitive with a Pentium 4 3.0C across the board; we'll have to wait and see what will be necessary for AMD to remain competitive once Prescott hits later this year.
