The day after BetaNews' initial report, Dell submitted a new test result to SPEC, for a Precision 690 server with a Xeon 5160 processor clocked at 3 GHz. The new figures give the 5160 a best peak performance score of 54.9 - 6% better than AMD's best peak performance for Opteron 2220 SE - and a best base performance score of 53.2 - 17.6% better than the AMD. So Ali, what's up with that? Is the new benchmark wrong because it's not showing your vaunted 50+% C2D performance lead? According to the NEWEST figures, the 2.8GHz Opteron 2220 is FASTER, clock for clock, than the 3GHz Xeon 5160 in SPECint2006-rate, and just 10% slower, clock for clock, than the Xeon in SPECint2006-base. That's with the NEWEST scores on the NEWEST integer benchmark, the one all those "OEM managers" are going to be looking at. (And this is vanilla K8, not Barcelona.) Go ahead, we're waiting... fpg
