New Intel Nahelem based Xeons launched

Zitat

The Nehalem Xeons' truly astounding leap in performance over prior generations, in a range of applications, speaks for itself. The largest gains came in our scientific computing/HPC tests, where the Xeon W5580 proved to be between 50% and 100% faster than the Harpertown Xeon X5492. We saw a massive performance increase in SPECjbb 2005, as well, along with more modest but still substantial improvements everywhere else.

die scores sind ein wahnsinn für eine dualsoket platform.

amds quadplatform wird schwer mit dem zu kämpfen haben.

The Nehalem architecture only caused a small ripple in the desktop world, mostly due to high pricing and performance that only shines in high-end applications. However, it has created a giant tsunami in the server world. The Xeon 5570 doubles the performance of its predecessor in applications that matter to more than 80% of the server market. Pulling this off without any process technology or clock speed advantage, without any significant increase in power consumption, is nothing but a historic achievement for the ambitious and talented team of Ronak Singhal.

Mich wundert's, daß die Plattform keine registrierten (oder FB) Module braucht, sondern stabil mit Unmengen von normalem DDR-III läuft, das is schon arg. Mal abgesehen von der Leistung. Mal sehen, wenn wir das nächste Mal auf der Arbeit eine Rechenmaschine kaufen fürs Rack, dann kann ich vielleicht schon Nehalem Xeons vorschlagen..
