SpecCPU2000 has a few cache friendly benches and a few that Intel have cracked, eg art and mcf. Tick the sub-tests results box and you will see some INT subtests on which K8 performs the same. SpecCPU2006 should solve these anomalies and it will be a lot closer. K8L will perform better on SpecFP not just due to better bandwidth but improved flaoting point units too.

Joe, the first Woodcrest 2S SpecIntRate benchmark from INTEL was published at a German site almost a year ago. I linked to it here and on I-Hub to discuss that early sign of what was to come. According to the new numbers, INTEL is about to exceed their performance estimate (and roadmap) even - according to INTEL´s original plans, Woodcrest was supposed to be a 2.93Ghz part with a 1066Mhz FSB. If you were AMD, what would you do with your pricing structure for Opteron 2xx? Obviously, with a 3Ghz Woodcrest, the current 2.6Ghz Opteron 285 @ >$1000 will have to come down sharply. Do you think pricing on Mhz (vs. Woodcrest) is a viable option?
