This is actually a rather interesting question since I've read that when it comes to virtualization, many prefer AMD Opteron over Intel Xeon. AMD should also be the only 64 bit processor that handles x86 (32 bit) instructions natively. It would be interesting to hear what all you dedicated Xen guys have to say about your experiences in this matter. AMD or Intel?

There's an interesting article at:
