I changed this a little, hopefully to shut up a few more Intel Fanboys from making pointless posts.

That is straight from Intel.com, and they said this about the 2 systems:
Woodcrest - 64-Bit Windows & 64-Bit SQL Server
Opteron - 64-Bit Windows & 64-Bit SQL Server
Intel also linked to this website (The system they referenced of the Opteron) - http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_result_detail.asp?id=106032001
That website says it's an Opteron w/ 32-Bit Windows & 32-Bit SQL Server, not 64-Bit. It appears Intel has changed the data and says it is comparing 2 64-Bit Platforms when in reality, they are comparing a 64-Bit Platform to a 32-Bit Platform and saying it's 2 64-Bit Platforms.
This coincides with Intel's previous lies, where it claims the Xeon Lindenhurst performs above AMD Opteron's when they used 10K HDD's vs. 7.2K HDD's in the Opteron's.
Opteron 64 is typically 20-40% faster in 64-Bit, and those show the Xeon is 33% faster in 64-Bit than the Opteron in 32-Bit, so if you adjust for Tru64 performance, it's really 7% Slower than the Opteron 64's. Remember, this is 20GB/s Bandwidth vs. 9GB/s Bandwidth in the Opteron and it is still winning, just wait until 4P Tests and 64-Bit Socket 1207.
Woodcrest is also known *from Daily Tech and Tech Report* that in Multi-Threaded apps, it is on par with an Opteron 64 while the Opteron 64 has half the bandwidth.
More Intel FUD to throw in the mix.
