There was virtually no difference between early Hammer cores
of the Opteron and Athlon 64s. In reality, it's really about
interconnect and the mainboard.
Opteron tends to lead in new core design changes, then Athlon
64 follows shortly afterwards. AMD is still perfecting
optimizations and packaging with each new revision.
You'll always find the Opterons to be of higher quality than
the Athlon 64s. And it wouldn't surprise me if some roll off
the same fab lines -- even if the codenames for each
respective product is different.
