To the thread:

Would anyone comment on the rather sharp price cuts by DELL this afternoon.

It seems that this time it is very different from the 'business as usual' price cuts. Low end Xeon based servers were cut less than 20%, but the high end Xeon servers had their price cut more than 40%.

If Xeons were still in such short supply, this move would seem to me to be idiotic. And, in spite of my constant criticism of DELL, I don't they that they're idiots.

Re: "You may not like the results. I do not like repeating myself to someone who refuses to go read"

More of your "official Intel Benchmarks"? I got a good laugh when I looked at the lame "proof" you posted.

If you would read carefully you would see what we've all been trying to tell you:

Currently the chipset stepping is B0, and our source cautions us that these tests are on a beta platform, using non-final steppings of both CPU and chipset

Peter Principle - Re: "You may not like the results. I do not like repeating myself to someone who refuses to go read."

You CLAIMED the SLudgeHumper was faster than ITanium and Pentium 4 - and I ASKED YOU TO POST SLUDGEHUMPER BENCHMARKS.

The YUK WRETCHEDSTER HAD NO SLUDGEHUMPER BENCHMARKS.

So - put up or SHUT UP !
