Chipguy, That puts it in a much better context. I couldn't believe that the 1.5GHz I2 outperformed a DC Opteron by that factor 2 on a whole range of HPC apps. This though is much easier to believe.

Rereading the thread I admit I missed your remark about outperforming DC Opteron "by anywhere from a little to over two to one". If I would have read it better I wouldn't have questioned you. Mes excuses.

I don't know any of these apps first hand, and this lower level I2 is doing better than I had guessed it would in this area.

Thanks for providing the context.

Maybe one more question: Can I take it these apps are typically multi threaded?

Regards,

Rink
