Hi
I find soem hardware test report on techReport
http://tech-report.com

and other site is
http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=1935&p=9

from website test , K8 is fast than Xeon much more
but it base on general application , have anyone use Hspice (linux or windows)
run demo PLL circuit (and enlarge simulation time becase demo ckt is too small , I think we need a long time simulation for benchmark it)

K8 and Xeon which fast in 2 CPU ?? many people told me K8 fast
but who can give me real test report ??

I use P4 simulation hspice .. it is very slow ...
I want to use new CPU for my simulation ..

I think the second benchmark is a database app where the two independend memory access channel of the operons dual do it better. For circuit simulation I observe less memory effect. The speed should scale with the Whetstone.

So either a 2.5GHz overclocked XP or an 2.4GHz Athlon64 would be the winners over the P4. But a 2GHz XP would give you very good price/performance ratio.

I have seen benchmark results and K8 is faster for equivalent category, running not only spice but also Cadence LDV, Cadence Encounter, Design Compiler...
