Keith and all, the relative performance figures say NOTHING because:
1. Are they comparing max integer performance for mobile/desktop (and max TCP-C for servers)?
2. Or average performance at a range of wattages?
3. Highest performance per watt even if that is at a power consumption of an order of magnitude below TDP?
3. Native 64b performance versus indirect 64b performance using a 32b ALU?
4. Theoretical unknown Integer measurement tool specifically optimized for Merom/Conroe?
5. Etc...

They are impressive numbers, but how impressive will they really be?

Regards,

Rink
