Pete, Yeah, 8 socket Opteron or Dunnington still beats 2 socket Nehalem, but that's not that much to brag about. notice that it is comparing future CPUs to current ones. Don't you think AMD will have faster ones by then? Ones using HT3? I notice they didn't include quad socket Shanghais or even octal socket Shanghais currently available, both the HP DL785G2 and the Sun X4600M2. Yes there will be improvements, but they can't make up the difference. Faster clocked Shanghai + HT3 may result in (optimistically) 2 socket performance of 16k to 17k but that is vs. 23k to 25k for Nehalem. And notice that Nehalem is running at 2.93 GHz and Intel is already selling 3.2 GHz in desktop segment. Joe
