The second CPU on the MSI board does not have its own local memory, and has to access the RAM via the Hypertransport connection to the crossbar switch of the first CPU. Just like one dual core Opteron, the two CPUs have to share the bandwidth of one dual channel memory bus. Therefore, the comparison of one dual core Opteron and two single Opterons at the same clock speed is very interesting: it gives us some insight on how much performance is gained by letting the two cores talk over the System Request Queue instead of over the Hypertransport connection. How much does this design boost performance? Quite a bit, according to our benchmarks. This relatively simple design decision offers a 6% performance increase.Z cehoz vyplyva:
