"Looks to me like you compared 2 cores to 1 core in the SEPCint2006, and 4 cores to 1 core in the FP."

As a customer, I have all rights not to have any clue about how many cores/hyperthreads/hyperlinks/whatever my computer has. If I need to compute something at my department, I simply look at best available machines. I am sure there are multi-core Opterons out there. I would also assume that people tried hard to get better scores on multicore platforms. Apparently they failed, they do not have higher scores, I picked the best, therefore your remark is moot. If you have any better results, please post, I am all ears.

Thanks,

- Ali

You are a one confused dude. cpu2006 int/fp (not rate) is a single-thread benchmark suite. It makes no difference if you are running on a 4, 2 or 1 core system. Only one core is being tested.
