hey maroon, if you cant keep from bashing on us, i would appreciate you starting your own thread. you can call it "i hate AMD" or whatever. knock yourself out.
i posted this article to show some advantages that the barcelona has over the xeon in server applications, not to say any chip is better than any other chip. here's my giant quotation:

| but some HPC, Java and MySQL benchmarks show that the 2.5GHz Barcelona is able to keep up with (or come close to) a 3GHz Xeon 5472. That is impressive |
. lol. i dont know how to make it tremendous-sized, but you get my point.
here's another one in case you missed it
Quote:
| Intel's flagship still has an Achilles heel: the platform it is running on has higher latency and much lower bandwidth than AMD's platform. Once you really stress all those cores with many threads, AMD's platform starts to pay off. |
please dont start your typical **** on my thread. there are other users on this forum that are interested in developments from AMD. i didnt mention anything about intel vs AMD or "this is better" or "this is worse".
thanks.
p.s. the TLB bug is part of the reason the Phenoms wont clock as high as thought, and also part of the reason for the slow clock speeds on the phenoms that are availible. high clock typically = better overall performance.
