Re: the fact that 2.5 GHz Barcelona was faster than Intel's 45nm Harpertowns on MySQL

By the way, Petz....

I was just looking back on this post, and I wonder if you realize that 2.5GHz Barcelona is an utter vapor part. You can't buy one, it hasn't launched yet, and no one knows when (or IF) it's going to launch - but reviewers have certainly benchmarked a lot of it!

All the OEMs today are offering Harpertown and Tigerton skus, but not a single one offers Barcelona - not even the paper 2.0GHz sku. Phenom launched with a disappointing drop in frequency, so I'm just waiting to find out how high the next Barcelona sku launches at. 2.3GHz...? 2.2?

Either way, perhaps you should wait until there's a shipping product before bragging about even the small handful of benchmarks where Barcelona doesn't get trashed by Harpertown.
