Re: For now, Tigerton scales better* than Barc from 2 to 4 sockets on specINT_rate* Too bad Intel didn't go with Native Quad Core.

Yea, George Ou FUDD -- AMD TOLD HIM the numbers he used for Barclona were wrong -- The gentleman strongly hinted that the numbers may change on the official launch next Monday compared to the numbers that I’ve extrapolated for now. ...so he publishes them anyway Petz

Doug, In addition to Petz' remark: They measured 16-thread performance. Maybe scaling would be different if they would have compared 8-thread performance instead? SpecInt will improve with frequency, although Intel isn't sitting still either ofcourse. SpecFP looks quite alright already. The main point is AMD can finally compete in more or less the same league again (although not quite, yet). Regards, Rink
