More Apples vs. Eggplants, this time around performance
Although we don't have all the annotations on this slide like we did on the first, we could have simply taken them from the first slide and overlayed them onto this one. Pretty much every benchmarking felony committed on the first slide in this presentation was committed on this slide as well, thus completely calling into question Intel's characterization of its performance as "Breakaway." Based on this data, it's nothing of the sort. Would Intel consider the Opteron's advancements over its old 386 technology a sign of a breakaway?
