LS-Dyna and Fluent, two real HPC applications is what we already have and Clovertown looks obsolete and yesterday's news in comparison. Just wait until you see the Database and Web Server scores leaving only Java Serving in Intel's hands. If gaming is really good too that will just leave SpecINT, best of luck trying to sell that 'application' to users lol ;-).

Doug, don't bother. Mas is delusional. I'm done with the HPC nonsense, anyway. If AMD has an advantage here, so be it. It's a small percentage of the market, and Intel will continue to drive some wins due to clocking much higher than AMD, and offering 1600 MT/s FSB parts next quarter, along with Harpertown and Stoakley. I'm more interested in server apps, actually. That is where Barcelona will live or die. So far, SPECint_rate looks terrible on Barcelona, and I'd like to see how closely that extends to TPC-C, SAP, SPECjbb, SPECweb, and others. If Clovertown continues to perform better, especially with the 2.33GHz lower TDP parts, then it's game over for Barcelona as far as I'm concerned.
