Some of you guys just need to leave this thread. The OP is talking about folding, not any other program. There is no point in posting benchmarks for different programs that are not relevant to the OPs question.
There is a reason that every single folder that has posted has said AMD... yes, the Intel Xeons are extremely powerful chips. But when it comes to folding on multiple CPU systems, dollar for dollar and watt for watt the AMD beats it.
