Just for the sake of precision, Intel 5600 series was codenamed Westmere (dual-socket, 32nm, 6-cores, 3 memory channels). Intel 7500 series was codenamed Beckton, aka Nehalem-EX (quad-socket and beyond, 45nm, 8-cores, 4 memory-channels). I would say that the 2x6-cores Magny-Cours probably has to be compared to Nehalem-EX. Some SPEC results are being posted on http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2010q1/ Cheers, -- Kilian _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
