Here's a little teaser....

"Notice that the Intel CPU has the advantage when it comes to raw processing power: it is about 19% faster in a single CPU configuration. Once you add a second CPU in both systems, that 19% lead is turned into a 3% advantage for AMD"

What he didnt say here is the Intel is clocked 17% higher and still got beat by 3% on 2 processors

that would be scaling better than 100%
Sorry it wasnt the test using Intels compiler

ok on one processor(socket)intel won by 19% so on 2(sockets)it should have been 38%,(that would be perfect 100% scaling)but in fact the AMD ran more than twice as fast to WIN by 3%, thats more than 100% scaling on 2 processors,and yes it Phenomenal!! thats 122% scaling

the graff had nothing to do with the scaling comment. I was responding to two post.in one Ill be sure not to do it as it seems to confuse people
