wbmw,

I think AMD does not want to show how poor the current clock frequency is with Barcelona, which has got to be pretty bad at this point. So they underclock dual core Opteron to make Barcelona look better

They tested the HE edition, which is 65W. 65W QC is obviouly going to have much lower frequency than highest clocked, 3.0 GHz DC Opteron with power consumption of some ~120W. Each core consumes roughly 1/4 of the power of the highest clocked DC Opteron.

Why they chose to test low power version, with less than maximum expected performance? I have no idea...

Joe
