First Shanghai benchmark results.

[duploxxx]

Yet they use different amount of instances.

And still so different from anyone else....sure!

And since when is a normal server configuration 16GB? Plus you would most likely use 4x4GB and not 8x2GB.

I put this along the 40% faster and 3Ghz Phenoms.

They didnt learn from it last time it seems.

there are lots of benches on that site with different amount of instances. off course when you think its convenient for your narrowed view you bring it up, well it isn't:

to the world, the days of 32bit and less then 4gb ram are over...but perhaps for some it takes some time to evolve.

choosing between 4 times 4 or 8 times 2 is 25% difference in ram price. lots of reasons since only minor amount will ever upgrade memory.
