blog post by Johan De Gelas
The last post generated some very interesting comments and questions, which I wanted to address. Unfortunately, some people misinterpreted the post as a "the best scores Nehalem and Shanghai can get in Linpack" review.
So let me make this very clear: this and the previous blogpost are not meant to be a "buyer's guide". The Nehalem desktop...

A "beta BIOS update" broke compatibility with ESX, so we had to postpone our virtualization testing on our quad CPU AMD 8384 System.
So we started an in depth comparison of the 45 nm Opterons, Xeons and Core i7 CPUs. One of our benchmarks, the famous LINPACK (you can read all about it here) painted a pretty interesting performance picture.
We had...

I've been working on a side project with ASUS called WePC.com. The idea is pretty cool: ASUS is tapping the community for ideas on what they'd like to see from its users in future notebook designs.

Remember the NVIDIA GeForce 9300/9400 launch a few weeks ago, yeah we forgot about it also, until NVIDIA called last week to remind us this product was no longer on life support. All joking aside, this product introduction turned out to be a paper launch for the most part with ASUS being the only partner that delivered boards into the retail channel, and...

Cooler Master gave us some more insides
on their upcoming Black Edition of the Cosmos chassis. As it seems
the changes to the case are rather minor, besides the black paint.
There will not be any change to the hard drive bays as we have hoped for. It's a matter
of fact that the case seems not changed at all. Even the large flat
front door will come as it...

Want to understand why Intel went with such a small L2 cache on Nehalem? We sat down with Nehalem's chief architect and got a much better understanding of the world's fastest microprocessor. We also uncover the on-chip PCIe controller in the mainstream Nehalem derivatives due out in 2009 and talk about its 32nm successors in 2009/2010....

As of today, the Intel Core i7 processor series and X58 chipset based motherboards are "officially" on sale.

We received a retail board on Saturday and have been running it through the benchmark gauntlet for the past 37 (and counting)...
