Hello!

Wouldn't it be interesting to see performance comparison of Sun hardware
based on AMDs vs. USs. For example, taking two machines of approximately
the same price (e.g. a $31595 V40z and a $30995 V440), which one is more
powerful?

Performance metrics could include stuff like the number of Apache HTTP
requests served per time unit, some DB stuff etc. Not artificial benchmarks
that would merely show the difference in architecture.

Are there any such reviews available?

I must admit that I for one would find such a review VERY interesting.

Not AFAIK. :-(

I have a feeling that, when it comes to entry level servers (i.e. up to the
number of processors that amd64 supports), amd64 platform provides more
powerful option.

This does sound interesting but I think you should include the
$30,995.00 V490.
