so not going into discussion about TDP/ACP/MAX TDP, for me they are all useless and I use the official power calculation tools from OEM, that way I can calculate max heat and power and compare real easy between platforms.



keep those words just for a few days more, yes you will remain to have the fastest single threaded performance but there it will end for a large amount of applications.
Lets settle this ok.
You name the benchmark that's closest to the type of application yopu have in mind. I'll run it this weekend on not a 16 core or 32 core Beckton but on a wimpy 12 core Westmere and we can see the results ok?
Pick the one that YOU want that factors in both cpu power and IO and lets show all these people some facts and get away from all this heresay..
How's that for fair? Yes?
