Figure 4 shows the WebBench throughput results, in bytes per second, for both servers. As with the previous
graph, a higher peak is better.

The difference in front-side bus reflects the capabilities of the two processors: The Intel Server Board S5000PAL
with Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5160 uses a front-side bus speed of 1333 MHz. The Intel Server Board
SE7520AF2 with Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 2.80GHz has a front-side bus speed of 800 MHz.
