Keith, mmm, I couldn't read the fine print at the bottom of that slide, but now you spelled it out it looks like that's what it says. Ok SpecIntRate.

Still doesn't make sense. SpecIntRate improved from ~20 for Prescott to ~32 for Smithfield, a 60% increase. TDP increased from 115W for Prescott to 130W for Smithfield, a 13% increase. So that slide should have shown a 60-13=47% increase in SpecIntRate performance per watt, and it only shows a 20-25% increase. Maybe the difference isn't big enough to cry foul about especially as my SpecIntRate readings for Prescott and Smithfield are one out of more possibilities, mem. settings might be different, etc...

I guess I simply can't figure Conroe at 5/1.4 * 65/130 = 79% better SpecIntRate which is 32*1.79 = 57. That would be incredibly good.

What kind of X2 would it take to catch up with that only performance wise (not talking perf/watt)?

Regards,

Rink
