I have 2 small servers, one a fairly new server with a x3450 (4-core
with HT) cpu running at 2.67GHz and an older E5335 (4-core) cpu running
at 2GHz.
I have been quite surprised how the E5335 compares very closely to the
x3450, but maybe I have tested it wrongly.
here's the CPUINFO:

In my testing I have a 32bit CentOS on the x3450, but a 64bit CentOS on
the E5335. Can this make such a bit difference or should the perform
fairly close to the same speed? Both servers have 8GB of RAM, and the
database I tested with is only 3.7GB.
I'm a bit surprised as the x3450 has DDR3, while the E5335 has DDR2, and
of course because of the cycle speed difference alone I would think the
X3450 should beat the E5335.
