Oops, missing footnote
In this version of the previous slide (the version used to show the press and analysts on February 28th), the fine print that shows how the SAP 4P benchmark was not run against the latest greatest Opteron (the 2200SE) is missing. With that footnote missing, it would be easy for the press to assume it was against the newest generation of Opteron processors. But in reality, as can be seen fro the previous slide, it was not.
