<<With the BEA JRockit JVM... Bensley platform loses even to 2 GHz Barcelona and there is nil frequency scaling on the Intel platforms. you:<Only if you are using Anandtech's whacked SPECjbb2005 configuration. Dell gets >2x the score with their own Xeon submission.> Twice the memory in that DELL submission, for one thing. And I'me sure they turned off hardware prefetch, which seems to mess up the JRockit JVM's, as Anand discovered. But would a real user turn off hardware prefetch to get better benchmark scores, even though it helps most other applications? No. If Anand used a "whacked configuration," how come it didn't mess up Barcelona performance? He had 3 Intel consultants there to help him. How come they couldn't fix it? How come LINPACK, SPECjbb and zVisuel all have terrible scaling with frequency compared to Barcelona? Hey, but I know you are just echoing DougSF30's PM to you, but he also just said that Anandtech lied. Petz
