Since you can save quite a bit of power when running at 50% CPU load and lower by enabling the "Balanced" power policy, we test our medium load (125 users) benchmark with both the "Balanced" as the "High Performance" setting.
No real surprises, besides a small one: the Xeon 5650 manages to keep up with the best Xeon E5. The Xeon E5 seems to favor the lower p-states in the "Balanced" mode, as the response times double compared to high performance mode. In the case of the Xeon E5, this is not really a problem: a 2.2 GHz Xeon E5 still manages to respond as fast as a 3 GHz Opteron.
Despite the fact that our server was equipped with lots of expansion capabilities, the Xeon E5 manages to keep the power consumption very low. Even the 135W TDP Xeon E5-2690 consumes 6% less than the previous generation of 95W Xeons and up to 27% less than the Opterons with the balanced power policy. The new Xeons E5 offer an unbeateable performance/watt ratio when running SQL databases.

Link not working on first page - THE SPECS AND THE SKUSyvizel - Tuesday, March 6, 2012 - link
For some reason I cannot go beyond the first page...yvizel - Tuesday, March 6, 2012 - link
Second page, in the Intel table, the 2630 is listed as an eight core CPU.But then: "...Based on the paper specs, AMD's 6276, 6274 and Intel's 2640 and 2630 are in a neck-and-neck race. AMD offers 16 smaller integer clusters, while Intel offers 6 heavy, slightly higher clocked cores with SMT..."

Fixed, thanks for letting me know!-Johan

Ah man, the 2630L error totally got my hopes up. 8 cores for $662 would be very reasonable.jumjjcmsw - Thursday, November 10, 2016 - link
How do celebrities keep fit and be always on top? Simple, complete with exercise and of course the right diet. In Hollywood it every day a new diet is devised that promises weight loss in a short time and a fabulous body. From the fasting diet to that of the Paleolithic, up to that of the blood type, the stars follow them a bit 'all.http://www.celebritiesphonenumber.com/baby-ariel-p...

...just got bulldozed. And this isn't even on the 22nm 3D transistors they're launching next month, it's like they just got a dizzying punch and know the KO punch is coming.A5 - Tuesday, March 6, 2012 - link
It'll probably be awhile before the Ivy Bridge Xeons are out.Kjella - Tuesday, March 6, 2012 - link
Of course, I'm guessing Q1 2013 before we'll see those but we already know from all the leaked SB -> IB details roughly what SB-Xeon to IB-Xeon will be like. All AMD has on their roadmap for 2013 is the "Abu Dhabi" with the "Piledriver" core promising 10-15% performance boost but still on 32nm. So you can see the punch coming a year away, but I don't think AMD has the capability to do anything about it.saharadusud - Saturday, January 7, 2017 - link
