Re: this completely annihilating performance comes from combining a wide superscalar CPU with an excellent Simultaneous Multithreading implementation. Heads off to the Intel engineers...

Interesting typo.... ^_^

Also looks like AMD is going to be largely disadvantaged in server workloads until they get to their clustered micro-architecture, or some version of SMT. If that's *the* feature of Nehalem that is delivering these results, then I can't see AMD offering better performance short of 2011, or whenever they deliver their next big micro-architecture.
