... is still not considered as real numbers?

Show me Barcelona numbers from that list? I must have missed them.

no, this is Opteron K8 benchmark, not K8L.

If those are the real numbers, barcelona is as ghey as the fab 5 in gay town. Looking at the charts some of the Intel processors in the charts are actually Netburst. And in the ones where they take on the Core based Xeons, they're never 15 percent faster. Certainly short of the 40 peak promised. And not to mention, Penryn is around the corner with even more hard hitting action and it hasn't even been released.

Barcelona's 20% integer and 50% FP improvement (according to latest press releases) is only vs a Clovertown (not penryn based) running at the same clocks. The part in bold is extremely important, because it is expected that the quad core parts will only run up to around 2.5ghz initially. And these are peak figures. The general case will obviously be lower. Not looking very peachy for AMD right now, although in the server space HT3 will certainly help them smack intel for 4p and higher configs. But those aren't exactly volume sellers.

stop speculating, this are the numbers.
and this.

more info will be coming soon, just wait and see.

*these are all synthetic benchmark, where's the real world benchies?

LOL fudzilla. I would NEVER question their numbers. lol.
And the tgdaily link is just a rehash of what AMD said in their press release.

f***? Fudzilla, isn't he that dude from the INQ? ZOMGWTFBBQSAUCELOL.

Barcelona support Am2? If not, i have to go to garage sale next time

dun many of us use optty during the 939 days?

No... Barcelona is Socket-F

Agena is AM2

Nice, in that case let's focus on Agena or Kuma perhaps

so barcelona uses Socket F....

i would rather stick with Ahtlon X2....its much cheaper...

Kuma definitely.... but it wont be release not until towards the end of the year

then lets wait and see lor, but i have high hopes for AMD

waaa`` play 4p ... , 3p not enough?
kk..`, wat does 4p means?
is it 4 processors on 1 board?

barcelona is quad core

xP = x numbers of processors (sockets) in a board.
i.e. 2P = 2 processor board

Sometimes 2P is refered to as DP (dual) while >= 4 is called MP (multi).
Single proc is UP (uni).
