Would you not agree Elmer that both will show strengths and weaknesses relative to each other? Or do you also feel that Montecito will beat Power 5 top to bottom in ALL HPC apps?

You are posing the fallacy of false dilemma. Your second
condition (complete dominance in all benchmarks) just does
not happen in practice even in cases of huge performance
disparity. In the days when Alpha was yielding about 2.5x
higher SPECfp2k performance than Athlon it still marginally
lost to Athlon in one of the 14 apps that make up SPECfp2k.

Why you pose the false dilemma of either being equivalent
or unrealistically dominant is curious. Either you are too
clueless even to know that the question was boobytrapped
or you did know it and you were being deliberately dishonest
in posing it. Please tell us so we know whether to point at
you and laugh or point at you and jeer.
