Right now the Athlon MP performs just as well as the Pentium 4 Northwood,
which has 128 KB more cache. Considering the very high prices of a Xeon
motherboard and dual Xeon configuration, the Athlon MP is a very cost
effective, high performance solution for a workstation or low-end server.
The Athlon MP lacks some cache to be a great server CPU and outperform
Intel's offering by a wider margin, but the Athlon architecture has great
potential. Therefore, if AMD can live up to their promises, the Hammer
family could - with proper OEM support - will prove to be a fierce
competitor in the server market. The reason why we say this, is that the
Hammer CPU strongly improves the weak points of the Athlon MP: the
performance of memory subsystem, the branch predictor, and most importantly,
the features that improve manageability and reliability (Chipkill, ECC,
Heatspreader, Thermal diode support, etc.).
Another interesting observation is that there is no "best" workstation
processor overall. The price is too high compared to the Athlon XP 2100+,
but Intel's 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 is the fastest single processor for 3D
rendering (SSE-2 optimized software like 3DS Max, Maya, and Lightwave),
video streaming, and software rendering. The high clockspeed and extra cache
cannot hide the relatively slow FP unit, as shown by the FEA benchmark,
where the Athlon XP 2100+ is by far the fastest processor.
