The dual Xeon's do a bit better in the applications etc which is where you want them to do well. Also with 2 processors you have the advantage of dedicating one processor to your game, and the other for doing system work etc.

From what I read in that article, the Xeon doesn't "way outperform" the opterons... AMD's dual Opteron is breathing down its neck - as the benchmarks bear out impressively! (The last line of that article) :)
