Petz, Re: "And the integer score is half what is expected of the first hammer system." LOL, I hope you're ready for a huge disappointment. Clawhammer won't launch at anywhere near 1400 in SPECint. You AMDroids seem to inflate this QuantiSPEC score every time you spin your tall tale. wbmw

These results are not on the spec.org site, so I guess they aren't real yet. They're not official yet but Intel tells us what to expect. AMD won't do that, presumably because they're better of with people like you believing their hype. And the integer score is half what is expected of the first hammer system. It may be half what you expect but that certainly isn't based on any evidence. The worst possible FP score for a 2 GHz Clawhammer would be 596*1.2=715, based on a 20% clock increase from the 1667 MHz and a 33% memory bandwidth increase. But we both know that SSE2 will make a big, big difference. That, and lower latency to memory should give the Hammer a SPECfp of at least 900. You are dreaming Petz. It looks like Hammer will have trouble keeping up with NorthWood in Integer and fall well behind in FP. EP
