First Shanghai benchmark results.

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.

Why are you posting 65nm Xeon numbers? And cant we agree that if you are so honest and clearly. You would bench it all with the same settings. Yet they didnt.

And did you even notice the 2 numbers you posted are on different confs? Both memory amount and speed.

Tell me how many servers that need more than 2 or 4GB. Besides DB servers.

Not even to talk about 16GB vs 8.

You didnt instantly throw 16GB memory in your desktop either did you with x64?
