CPU Performance
Again, this is a multiplatform comparison, therefore, instead of using the name of the respective mainboard, we are referring to the processor core and, if appropriate, to the clock speed. In this case, all benchmarks labeled Opteron 875 refer to the NFPIK8AA-8EKRS equipped with the dual core Opteron 875.
At 2.2 GHz real clock speed, the Opteron 875 is ranked between the X2-3800+ and the X2-4800+ whereas a dual Opteron 252 platform has more horsepower, courtesy of the 2.6 GHz core speed of the processors.
Memory Performance
Interestingly, despite the fact that registered ECC modules are at work which entails a higher access latency because of the extra clocke cycle consumed by the register, the Foxconn NFPIK8AA-8EKRS holds its ground in between the X2-3800 and the X2-4800+. Keep in mind here that with the current generation of AMD CPUs, memory performance is at least partially dictated by the memory controller's frequency, which, in turn is equal to the CPU's core speed. Needless to say that the dual Opteron platform, courtesy of the ccNUMA architecture is without competition in this case.
