How did they compare? Hopefully, that claim is not based on dhrystone MIPS?
You know what MIPS stands for, don't you? (MIPS = Marketing Invention for Pushing Sales).
I don't even have that... Only the marketing statements with no real
numbers to back it up... Things like:
"Developed in concert with the SolarisTM Operating Environment to meet
the performance, reliability, and scalability requirements of
mission-critical enterprise, HPTC, and other compute intensive
applications, the UltraSPARC IV processor can almost double the current
UltraSPARC III processor-based system throughput."
"Provides up to 2 times the application throughput of UltraSPARC III
processor"
"Twelve UltraSPARC IV processors execute 24 simultaneous computing threads."
"This CMT technology nearly doubles current compute densities and
reduces overall heat dissipation, resulting in significant end-user
cost-benefit savings."
" Up to 12 dual-threaded, near-linear scalability, UltraSPARC IV
processors with 16 MB cache."
I'm searching for something with a little more meat... One of the
reasons for this email...
