Обсуждение: experiences needed - how does Itanium2/1.5GHz(4MB) compare to AMD and Intel CPUs as far as Postgresql is concerned

Hello!

    First tried some searching around, but did not find anything useful so I gave up and decided to ask here... I am
wondering how do pair of 1.5GHz Itanium2(4MB cache) stack up against pair of AMD or Intel server CPUs as far as
postgresql performance is concerned? Is it worthy or not?

Thanks in advance.

-performance would be a better place to ask, so I'm moving this there.

The general consensus is that your best bet CPU-wise is Opterons.
