Anandtech has the next installment of the webserver analysis using the fastest CPUs.
As we've mentioned before, there's not much to get you excited when talking about the Athlon MP 2100+; it's a 66MHz clock speed increase that we've had on the desktop side for three months now. The performance boost that you get in dual processor environments over the "old" 2000+ is around 4% in some of the best case scenarios, which were illustrated by our database server tests. It's not the Athlon MP 2100+ that we should be focusing on however, it is AMD's strategy going into 2003 that requires our attention. (By the way, the Xeon 2.4Ghz won in all tests except the forum database test)
