Hi!
I'm thinking about switching one of my servers from old HW to the newest cutting edge Nehalem one. I currently have the x3220 xeon processor there - that is a 4 core 2.40 GHz Kentsfield on LGA 775. I'm thinking about getting the e5540 chip that is a 4core+HT 2.40GHz Nehalem/Gainstone on LGA1366. Of course I need the mobo and new ram chips as well.
The question is - how those two chips will differ in terms of performance in "general PostgreSQL" and (p)bzipping. Those are the two basic most CPU consuming operations that are being done on that server.
Can someone please post their PTS results or some links to such? Will the difference be like 2 times or 20%?
BTW. the LGA775 xeon is thought to be Q6600 and the LGA1366 one is supposed to be the core i7 920 with a lower clock rate.
