Woodcrest will outperform all other CPUs on the market In Linpack

theinquirer.net


3GHz Woodcrest 2S: 38 GFlops
2.2GHz Power5 2S: 27 GFlops
1.6GHz Montecito 2S: 23 GFlops
2.8GHz Opteron 2S: 19.8 GFlops


In summary? Woodcrest will, socket for socket, outperform all other CPUs in the market, X86 or RISC or EPIC - when it comes to the TOP500 battle and its Linpack benchmark.

Wow, AMD should have had K8L now, not in a year's time.

...and of course Dell who now will sell relatively expensive FXs (via Alienware) and 8xx Opterons...

The way Dell is slowly easing into AMD makes me wonder if RACK is of any interest to them. RACK sure took it in the shorts today.

PS: Wishing I had not cashed out of AMD earlier in the week :(((
