No question, AMD is disappointing ...
everyone. If it weren't for them offering a "fairly" good performing desktop chip for under $60, I would be thinking more Intel. AMD motherboards are usually cheaper for desktops as well.

How long does it take to recoup the price difference in chips by the amount of money saved in energy costs?

Are we gonna' have to do this all over again when B3 Barcelona is ready?

That was educational  nucrash | 01/23/08
Since you complained for more IT content, that was for you  georgeou | 01/23/08

The AMD systems have higher energy consumption on the desktop  georgeou | 01/23/08
You're doing exactly the same thing you complained about.  Letophoro | 01/23/08
I think this anticle is fare.  Victor2008 | 01/23/08
2216HE is the best chip available from AMD  georgeou | 01/23/08
2216 certainly isn't the fastest chip available  Robert Crocker | 01/23/08
This is a brand new test and there are only one dozen entries in it so far.  georgeou | 01/23/08
It's weak  Robert Crocker | 01/23/08
Neal Nelson is off by 80% whereas the current SPECpower data is off by 8%  georgeou | 01/23/08
It's not off by 8%  Robert Crocker | 01/24/08
8% assumes perfect scaling. No CPU scales perfectly.  georgeou | 01/24/08
Furthermore, the current SPECpower data does more injustice to Intel  georgeou | 01/24/08
Please send your complaint to AMD  Victor2008 | 01/24/08
Then should it be the basis for an "analysis"?  Robert Crocker | 01/24/08
Please...  thetruthhurts | 01/27/08
Wrong in so many ways.  Letophoro | 01/24/08
Intel has even faster and lower power chips that haven't been tested  georgeou | 01/24/08
FYI, AMD's 90nm technology is still their fastest production parts.  georgeou | 01/24/08
What's wrong with the other analysis?  Robert Crocker | 01/23/08
To be honest...  nucrash | 01/23/08
Even if you don't exceed the TPM, you might still violate SLA  georgeou | 01/23/08

Point about software vs hardware costs..  cornpie | 01/23/08
Don't dismiss the question  toadlife | 01/23/08
Actually it's kinda of funny/sad  Robert Crocker | 01/23/08
Upfront cost is sometimes important  georgeou | 01/23/08
One other option is single-socket servers and virtualization  georgeou | 01/23/08
How does virtualization fit in?  cornpie | 01/23/08
Virturalization is a key strategy on efficiency  georgeou | 01/23/08

You're right, it's Enterprise edition.  georgeou | 01/23/08
