As always, benchmarks are not useful for deciding how your application will perform on a certain CPU and you should do some tests for yourself, but considering the huge difference in this synthetic benchmark, I'd say some people would be willing to pay difference.

- tewks 16y agoThe power consumption of two AMD machines over their lifespans, compared to that one Intel machine, might be an issue though I've not run any calculations.
- anigbrowl 16y agoFor a server farm, that is definitely a big issue. for office computers (not maxed out most of the time), the difference is pretty marginal IMHO.

- yaj 16y agoThe price difference can be invested in an SSD and memory. I wonder if it can surpass the i7 benchmark.
