First look: Intel dual- socket Nehalem EP benchmarked
...only "SPECfp_base_rate" and "Stars Euler3D benchmark" at this time, but these look VERY promising...

And now we can exclusively reveal that the upcoming dual-socket server variant of the Nehalem architecture is so fast it's almost silly.

In other words, as good as AMD's new Shanghai chip is, it appears that Nehalem EP will slap it around with a wet fish.

Oh, and the platform's memory bandwidth is borderline biblical, clocking up 35GB/s in SiSoft Sandra's quick and dirty bandwidth benchmark.

too funny ...
