You must be looking at the wrong benchmarks or wrong reviews. A 1.8GHz
Opteron processes a WU somewhere in the range of a Thoroughbred based
AthlonXP running at 2.3GHz 

Old reviews, definitely... from back right around the release of the 
Opteron.

I wonder if 3.08 addressed this or what?  I definitely recall reading 
per-clock, the Opteron running slower than the Athlon XP on S@H.

Oh well.  :-)

Here take a look at our benchmark page, thats my dual opteron box
not overclocked (246's @ 2ghz) up there with the front runners.

Nice thing about the multiple CPU opterons is that they don't suffer
from memory bandwidth starvation like the xeons. So if you run one
WU/cpu they all process around the same time no matter how many cpus
you have :)
