Chipguy, re: I recently read a competitive analysis report which showed how the low-medium 1.5 GHz, 4 MB bin of the old 130 nm I2 outperforms dual core Opteron on a whole range of widely used HPC applications by anywhere from a little to over
two to one.

What's the die size? Twice that of Opteron as well?

It ofcourse depends on the exact parameters but I think there is an awefully good chance that it is in contradiction with what I read. It looks to be in contradiction with SPEC results as well (not the same as HPC apps I admit, but still your remark is so out of wack with the SPEC results I'm rather doubtful it is true). How recent was that report? What DC Opteron? How many processors / system? Actually could you please provide a link (maybe you are mistaken and such a report does not exist?).

Regards,

Rink
