If you have no idea what's different between an AMD Opteron processor and an Intel Core 2 Xeon processor, then this is the guide for you! The Workstation & Server CPU Comparison Guide allows you to compare 18 specifications of every processor ever made for the PC!

erm... the power saving feature for amd desktop/server processors is call Cool 'n' Quiet (C&Q);

while the similar technique used on processors designed for mobile platform is called PowerNow!

Not really, some AMD server processors power saving feature are also branded as PowerNow!, some branded as OPM, but they are basically the same thing. Depending on the time when they are released.

The adaptation of PowerNow! for AMD's desktop CPUs is called Cool'n'Quiet. Newer Opterons also use an adaptation of PowerNow! called Optimized Power Management.

Yeah, I already read that one too. Now I'm really confused about what should I do on that part.

Maybe I should just change them all to OPM and put a small note about it in the guide.
