From what I've read, the Barcelona will be a real barn-burner on floating point. On integer, AMD has been a bit cagey about performance. I suspect it will be way ahead in 4-socket performance, at least until Intel comes out with its 4-FSB chipset. 2-socket will be pretty close; if Intel can hit 3 GHz, they will probably lead. But even it Intel is ahead a bit in 2-socket integer performance, lower power consumption could outweigh that. EDIT, actually is there any 4-socket chipset that will work with Intel quad-cores, or will that 4-FSB one be the only choice? When? Petz
