Rezultatai gan įdomūs ir verčiantys pamąstyti. Greičiausiai Intel’is visur deklaruojamą naujųjų Xeon procesorių spartą įžvelgia kompleksiškai, t.y. lygina bendrą atminties ir CPU spartą. Juk realiose situacijose, tai aplikacijos greitis priklauso tiek nuo CPU, tiek nuo RAM spartos.

Aišku, reiktų įvertinti ir tai, kad, anot Intel’io, 55xx Xeon’ai “valgo” mažiau elektros, tai galbūt reiktų vertinti ir pagal formuluotę “iš to paties elektros kiekio išspaudėm daugiau” :)

Sistemose buvo 1-2 Dom0, bet jie praktiškai nieko neveikė. Testus dariau po 3 kartus, maksimalus pastebėtas skirtumas – 1 sec.

Beje, labai nuvylė 5504 rezultatai. Nesitikėjau, kad jie gali būti tokie prasti.
