Re: intel vs amd benchmark for pg server

I don't think those tests can conclude much about the CPUs - so many 
factors are different in your comparisons.

My guess it's more to do with drive issues.

Have you tried testing the performance of the different drives with dd or 
some other hdd benchmark?

What are the results?
