Characterizing x86 Processors for Industry-Standard Servers: AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon

Overview The HP ProLiant server portfolio includes systems using the Intel Xeon family of x86 processors and systems using AMD Opteron x86 processors. To help customers understand the implications of these processor architectures on the system platform, this paper compares and contrasts the Xeon processors with the Opteron processor. It discusses both the 32-bit and 64-bit computing space for those x86 processors. The paper also briefly compares the Intel Itanium 64-bit architecture to the Xeon and Opteron 64-bit architectures.
