pete, When doing 4 way, it is easily ahead of 3.6GHz even against Hurricane, a 2.2GHz HP DL585 wins, 105K vs 102K. 2.6GHz gets 130K. Assuming linear scaling (best case), a 3.8GHz would only do 107K, not even close to a 2.4GHz Opteron 850 at 115K. A 3GHz HP DL580 does 95K, but thats a NW Xeon. A 3.8GHz NW Xeon would likely do, assuming linear scaling, 120K about equal to a 2.46GHz Opteron, still no comparison to a 852.
Only that Hurricane gets 150K instead of 102K.
There is the IBM using Hurricane versus an old Tyan S2882 board, but not one using the much faster S2892 board with Nvidia Nforce4 Pro 2250/2200s.
IBM doesn´t even use Hurricane for 2P.
Pete, you know, I checked my facts before I posted, something you should start doing too, and properly. There is absolutely no way getting around the fact that Xeon DP 2M is very competitive in performance with Opteron 252, while posting the highest results in those high-profile server benchmarks I mentioned. Many of those used to be show-off benchmarks at AMD´s benchmark site. They don´t update the results anymore where Xeon took the lead. That should tell you something. Wake up. |
