Ok lets sum it up.
I saw your benchmarks and decided I wanted to se how my system did in the same benches. I decided to post the results thinking that probably it might be of interest to other people here. To make it easier for everyone to see, I posted the pics in succesion so that it would be easier to see the different results. As most of my posting is done in the AMD section my benchmark posts in this thread obviously is very offending to some of you. I can find a total of three people (i think) who shows any interest in the numbers themselves, most of the other posters is ridiculing me for comparing the two systems
I'll grant you that some of it is my fault since I take the bait and is partly responsible for the thread derailing into core/cpu/thread/logical/virtual whatever. I apologize for this.
My intentions were to compare the systems no matter what amount of cores and ht threads.
The comparison apparantly is invalid because of different amount of cores. Guys why are you picking on this? I never stated in the benchmark post that ht threads were the same as cores, I mentioned in other posts that the os shows threads, and that I was interested in the numbers of nehalem including ht.
My benchmark posts were never intended like a showdown of any kind.
As most people here obviously is more into playing cool, ridiculing than showing any interest for the actual numbers, comparing future nehalem to todays dual socket setup. I don't see this place as a forum I want to be associated with anymore.
Too much crap in this forum kills the joy of being an enthusiast. The moderators reluctance to do anything about it is proof enough to me that they feel it is allright that the forum goes this way.
I apologize also to shintai, donnie27 and jcornell for any harsh words I have written. I do not usually engage in discussions like that.
Peace out.
