In this test we see the 2.33 GHz Clovertown and Opteron performing almost identically with the 1.86 GHz Clovertown and Woodcrest falling behind by as much as 20% and 36% respectively.
We get similar results as other tests with Woodcrest ramping first and the others similarly grouped.

You can not read, and understand what I am writting, and I am the dolt or moron . . .Interresting that . . . interresting indeed. I think what I will do, is just ignore whatever else you have to say, just like the majority of other readers seemingly have done.

However if Barcelona comes out and then Penryn smashes it just a few months later, yeah, then I'm gonna be worried about them. :(Griswold - Saturday, March 31, 2007 - link

This is for the authors. Sorry if I missed it, but do the power measurementsinclude chipset power? AMD processors include the memory controller as well,
right? Do the performance/watt take this into account?

We measured power at the wall, but we do not include the power for the disk chassis.Thus, performance/watt takes all of your mentioned items into account.

I am guessing Pernyn will be different enough from Clovertown to make using vmotion (and many other enterprise features) impossible. It sucks enough that we already have two processor families in our Dell 2950's, and here comes one more.I am all for progress, it just looks like this might be something VMware has to address at some point.

...the industry. As usual Intel's "glueblob" is another rushed-out-the-door, knee-jerk reaction to AMD supplying superior CPU products. AMD is really gonna hurt Intel with Barcelona and friends.johnsonx - Friday, March 30, 2007 - link

You forgot to add some "fine-ass".Phynaz - Friday, March 30, 2007 - link
