1. It is much easier to read the numbers from slide #30 of Intel's presentation.

regards

2. Cant people just be happy with what they have? *lol*
None of those "future processors" will show the numbers given by the respective manufacturer and that SHOULD be clear to anybody, so no need to get excited.

3. this sounds like a benchmark targetted for each marketing department...

both marketing sides give a bunch of crap...

they should make an article that goes in-depth about who's side gives out more crap... or who profit's from who's crap...

4. Many people miss that the SPEC "_rate" values are derived by running many copies of a single test in parallel. For the FP tests, their memory requirements are so large that this then becomes a memory bandwidth test, NOT a FP computation test.

As we all know, AMD has more peak memory bandwidth available than the Intel CPUs, so they do well here. That is important for some applications but the "rate" results are not a comparison of FP computational strength, at which Intel is still better - see the non-rate results.

5. blah
