Finally we got a Woodcrest machine for benchmark. Thanks to CopperBlue again for contributing the machine.
The Intel Xeon Dual-Core 2.66GHz (Woodcrest) achieves much better 32bit performance than AMD64X2 4200+ (2.2GHz). Running Woodcrest in 64bit achieves even higher performance.
Can you believe Woodcrest is even slower than the aging AMD64 X2? I suggest CopperBlue upgrade his Java JVM to 1.5.x. There is significant performance boost in Java 1.5 over Java 1.4. Otherwise, his latest processor is just as slow as my 1+ year-old processor. Do you care?

I don't suppose you've still got that Woodcrest laying about?
I'd dearly love to see a simple "pystone" test on Woodbridge and Opteron of similar pedigrees, just to get a feel for how a Python application server might fair on one vs the other.

Running the pystone.py is handy. I shall run it on platforms that I have access to, and generate a chart. ;)
