AMD released Barcelona Benchmarks


Quote:
AMD has released benchmark data for its upcoming Barcelona quad-core server processor, and has demonstrated a quad-core Phenom desktop processor running at 3GHz.

AMD boasted at its Technology Analyst Day at its Silicon Valley headquarters that its processor outperformed a 2.33GHz Intel Xeon quad-core processor by 25 per cent in the SPECfp_rate2006 benchmark, and claimed a 30 per cent advantage on the performance-per-watt metric.

Yet all AMD seems to do is compare FP numbers and not other apps

The original story linked to is from late July. So yes, it's old as heck apparently. Dunno if it qualifies as news, even.

AMD's new Publicity guy they lifted from AMD seems hard at work. He really is doing a good job, if it's him. Since he joined AMD all the news from them is carefully positive if a little misleading.
