"Since its introduction in June, Six-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers have been achieving some solid virtualization proof points. In fact, a new top 48-core VMmark score was recently posted by HP with its AMD Opteron processor-based HP ProLiant DL785 G6 server. This is a new high score for VMmark of 47.77@30 tiles - more than 30% higher than the top 48-core score posted with an Intel Xeon 7460 processor (”Dunnington”)." - AMD Opteron from Bookmarklet
