K10 Scores starting to surface

[JumpingJack]

I will say this much though...reading through all the crazy arguments...there is an incredible amount of stuff I've learned. Makes you appreciate how knowledgeable our forum members are...it's pretty incredible really. Some smart, smart dudes hanging around here. Even if they are insane fanboys one way or the other

Hence the reason I hang out in the forums at times ...

Jon Stokes made an amusing quip in his Tigerton launch article,

I think we'll see that in the near-term, four-socket Barcelona systems will dominate four-socket Xeon systems in specfp_rate and in floating-point performance/watt. CPU-bound workloads will tell a different story, however, which is why I expect to see fanboys in both camps stinking up the Internet with specfp_rate versus spec_fp debates following the September 10 launch.

Gave me a bit of a chuckle....
