I'm trying to decide between two machines here and the cost is not an issue. I have two but I am not sure about the ins and outs of the processors.
Z820 with Dual E5-2609 Processors and 128GB of memory
Z800 with Dual X5550 Processors and 96GB of memory
Regardless of what these are used for, lets assume they are being taxed, which of these machines is the faster or better machine?
At first blush the X5550 looks a lot beefier due to virtual processors, is that true?
