RE: best-performing CPU + platform for MySQL now? Opteron? OpenBSD? SuSE?

[Donny Simonton]

MySQL released this a few weeks ago.

http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/press-release/release_2004_27.html

As far as personal benchmarks, it's fast.  Real fast.  With a quad Xeon
(which was more expensive than the quad opteron) our master server had a
normal load of 2-3.  With the the quad opteron it's less than .25.
