Re: With the BEA JRockit JVM... Bensley platform loses even to 2 GHz Barcelona and there is nil frequency scaling on the Intel platforms.

Only if you are using Anandtech's whacked SPECjbb2005 configuration. Dell gets >2x the score with their own Xeon submission. Go figure.

Barcelona is MIA on this benchmark. Dell is obviously uninterested. Probably explains why Dell is deemphasizing AMD in 2008:

According to McConnell, Dell (DELL) plans to “de-emphasize” the use of AMD processors in 2008, “due to the disappointing performance of Barcelona and Phenom, poor availability and AMD’s decision to deliver initial shipments of its new Phenom product line to the channel first rather than to OEMs.”
