Facebook, everyone’s favorite social network, have a bit of an issue with Intel and AMD. They aren’t seeing quite the performance benefits that the two companies tout for their products when they use the new platforms in their massive server farms.

That doesn’t quite sit well with AMD but they take the diplomatic way out (why peeve off customers) by somewhat agreeing on some points while, at the same time, touting the benefits of their latest Opteron chips.

Smooth.

Perhaps Facebook should take a look at their software’s underpinnings to see why their setups aren’t performing much better as no amount of extra CPU power will improve poorly written software’s performance.
