The initial benchmark addresses only one subset of server workloads: the performance of server side Java. It exercises the CPUs, caches, memory hierarchy and the scalability of shared memory processors (SMPs) as well as the implementations of the JVM (Java Virtual Machine), JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler, garbage collection, threads and some aspects of the operating system.
Not much serverload there.

And funny how the AMD Intel system doesnt match the others.

No wonder they been so quiet about the 45nm K10s. Nothing to see.
