Surely that's not on-die?
But I must admit, Itanium 6M kicks bottom at SPECfp-like stuff, no doubt about it. SGI say they already sold 25 Altix systems, that has got to take off now that Madison is available.
I stand by what I said earlier, the new entries to the top500 list this year will be Opterons and Itaniums. Why bother with anything else?
