<i>Red scores mean that the competing processor is performing better than the Opteron 246, while green scores mean that the Opteron 246 is giving better performance.</i><b>The Final Word</b>
AMD's Opteron is an exciting product, and with its innovative feature set and excellent raw performance, AMD looks to finally be breathing some life into the processor market which was rapidly becoming vapid and stale. The Opteron and Athlon64 processor families have absolutely re-ignited the processor wars and are now not only competing with Intel's top of the line Pentium 4 and Xeon processors, but in most real world occasions, are beating them.

Judging by what we're seeing today, we feel that the Opteron 246 is certainly justified as the world's fastest PC processor. Neither the Pentium 4 3.2 GHz nor the Xeon 3.06 GHz/1MB has proved itself to beat the Opteron 246 in a majority of benchmarks. It's just a stellar chip.
