I am wondering if HFSS operates better on AMD than Intel HT. I got a 3.2 HT machine, which still isn't that fast I expected with such power. I wonder if any knows why!!
spead relate to RAM of your
computer and CPU , if your RAM rather than 512
and CPU rather than 1G ,analyse spead of HFSS
is suitable ,and only your problem , if you don't have
powerfull computer is that the time of analysise
is longer , and if your work don't have symmetry
the analyse take more time .

I have done benchmarking using HFSS between Intel Pentium 4/EMT64 and AMD Opteron architectures...
Bottom Line - Single processor systems
Memory to processor speed has the primary impact on solve time
Bottom Line - Multi-processor systems
Memory to processor speed has the primary impact on solve time
Processor to Processor communication has a significant contribution to solve time
With the above achitectures, AMD is better than Intel with both memory to processor... and processor to processor communications
In a single processor system... An opteron running at 2.0 GHz was at least 15% faster than 3.0 GHz Intels
Going multiprocessors (1 to 2).. the Intel system was sped up by about 20 - 30%... where the AMD Opterons achieved about a 90%-95% increase.
If the problem goes out of memory... make sure that you also have a fast disk system... RAID 5 / SCSI 320 / and 15k spin drives seem to be pretty good.
