Re: Get it through your thick, delusional skull - Sledgehammer isn't dual core. The chip being discussed was a hypothetical dual core McKinley that you proposed. A 32 processor IA-64 system could issue 6 instructions per clock with SMT and dual core for a total of 384 instructions per clock.... wbmw Message 17085439 Did that make it into your "thick, delusional skull? :-)

Article comparing Prestonia with Athlon MP: Both the Prestonia Xeon and Athlon MP are incredible processors, and both engineering teams deserve a round of kudos for producing some incredibly fast SMP-capable CPU's. Each CPU has a specific area where you'll see one dominate over the other, although the majority of the tests were fairly close between the two CPU's. In my opinion, the Prestonia Xeon is the better CPU of the two for mission critical / server applications. The Intel 860 platform seems to be incredibly stable, considering it’s relatively short time on the market. Not one instance comes to mind where we ran into compatibility issues with our Dual Xeon systems, something we can’t say for the Athlon MP systems we setup. Unfortunately, you pay the price for the Intel name, as Xeon systems are extremely expensive. The CPU’s and motherboards are both extremely expensive, which makes the Xeon hard to recommend for the workstation market. gamepc.com
