[link=http://www.amdzone.com/articleview.cfm?ArticleID=1366]AMDZone: Opteron 248 Review[/link]
Today AMD announces their new Opteron 148, Opteron 248, and Opteron 848 CPUs. These are there 1 and 2P Opterons running at a full 2.2GHz which is now equivalent to the Athlon 64 FX51 MHz. All the features remain the same with DDR400 Registered memory support, 1MB L2 cache, integrated memory controller, and HyperTransport interconnects. We will compare the Opteron 248 performance to that of the 246 model with a number of benchmarks that are SMP capable.

This new processor took our benchmark suite by storm, beating out the Pentium 4 3.2GHz by some downright embarrassing margins in many tests. Intel struck back preemptively with its Pentium 4 3.2GHz Extreme Edition, but now that we know that product's actual, heart-stopping price, the P4 EE looks more like a stunt than an actual option for purchase. In my view, the Athlon 64 FX reigns as the fastest x86 processor in the desktop market.
