IBM is now doing the same thing SUNW did and parallelizing their SPECfp_2000 runs. Nothing wrong with it, it's within the rules, but when SUNW announced high Opteron scores some of our self anointed pundits here were fooled into thinking somehow Opteron suddenly boosted it's SPECfp_2000 performance with no hardware changes whatsoever. Well IBM hasn't either. They're running across 4 cores and still only marginally beating a Conroe in SPECfp_base2000 running the same code on a single core. And that's with POWER having 36meg external L3! You have to wonder why IBM doesn't integrate L3 onto the die like Intel does with Montecito's 24meg L3? Is it possibly because they can't? spec.org
