New Maya Workstation Build - Many Questions! Magny-Cours or Westmere?

2nd level is all cores, 3rd level is with 1/2 the cores..
Also some in that list that I wasn't aware of..HMMM

Thanks Movieman!

I have to say this is very interesting ... I can't wait for pricing. Although I'll still wait for Xeon E5-2600's to hit stores to check out their pricing & performance ... but these Interlagos are definitely looking very promising; those clock speeds were a bit surprising.

The second benchmark was compiled using the Intel Fortran Compiler. My guess is that using the PathScale Fortran compiler will net a much larger speed-up for the Opteron system.

Keep in mind that AMD's production problems may mean that Interlagos is unavailable in the channel for some time after launch...I'd be willing to bet that every chip they're producing ATM is earmarked for HP and Dell.

My $0.02...
