Let us know. Rumor has it that the first generation Intel dual-cores are
nothing to write home about.  Between Intel rushing to market, limitations
of the chipsets and the NetBurst architecture I'm surprised it works at all.

Not yet (but hardware arrives today)!  

 

One interesting report from Citrix was that an AMD dual core is faster than
two separate cores of the same speed.  They reported getting 8-10% more
users on Citrix servers.  It's a memory bus thing.  I am thinking it might
not apply to the Intel dual cores - but have not confirmed any of this.

Was curious if anyone had any real world experience/observations regarding
how Citrix performance was affected/increased by using either dual core
processors or the new 64bit version of Citrix? We're looking to get some new
hardware and are trying to sum up the general performance increases based on
the following progression regular dual processor box --> dual processor/dual
core box --> dual 64bit processors. Assume same amount of memory/otherwise
identical hardware spec in each box. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.


 

Also regarding the 64bit version of Citrix.if folks have had any negative
experiences with it (red flags) or any other general feedback.

 

Thanks!

 

Chris
