I knew it ...

I knew it. I knew it right from the start. The first samples of AMD 4x4 are available and the benchmarking starts. And it seems to be inevitable: Benchmarking an UMA-architecture against a NUMA-architecture with a non-NUMA-aware operating system. Well, when will this fanboiz-sites get a little more sophisiticated in their benchmark-spindoctoring … at least the quality sites points to the fact that 4x4 needs Vista or an real operating system to take off … PS: For a real 4x4 versus Kentsfield benchmark i suggest: Vista , one core for operating system, occassional mail and browsing while photoshops works on something real (filter set on a 36M Hasselblad raw) , two cores for photoshop itself , one cores for rendering a DVD.
