Official AMD Barcelona Thread

[Face]

The Opteron machine on the left was started first and the Barcelona box finished in far less time. The raw results were about 2200 pixels per second on the Opteron while the Barcelona hit "just over" 4000 on the POV Bench.

The systems it showed were identical 4S AMD development platforms running DDR2 memory and HE (65W) chips. Nothing was changed between the two platforms other than the BIOS.

So umm .. 16 cores? i'm confused now.. am I missing anything, or that the Inq is misinformed?
doesen't make sense at all..(Clovertown X5365 8 cores 4677 POV-ray according to Xbitlabs)
