Well that's not bad news, if the SPECint2000 / SPECfp2000 scores are to be believed.

According to one source (I posted on one of the other recent thread), the above scores were 1000 and 1500 respectively, those figures being for just one core and at an average power consumption of 7W.

Well spotted.

Two GigE controllers and a 10GigE controller?

I'm sure that they're not all connected (as they'll require off-chip PHYs which might be quite expensive for the 10GigE controller, and they contend for SERDES ports with the PCIe controller), but these are nice things to have :-).

The ethernet controllers share the SERDES pins with the PCI-Express lanes. Considering what we're to believe about the rest of the system in terms of PCI-Express slots and onboard devices, I'd guess that nearly all of the SERDES lanes are consumed by PCI-Express. In the AW.net discussion I remember someone saying there was a Realtek ethernet chip on board as well, though I thought that one odd... Go PCI-Express to it, or use that lane for an SGMII to a phy, I'd go straight to a phy...

Yeah, I stated this back on 1/14/2010. thanks

No, actually you GUESSED it.. And with zero to substantiate the guess...   Anyone could have guessed, we now have actual confirmation...  

So congrats on a great guess, but don't get too carried away Buddy...

LOL!

Well, this is what happens when "no-techies" tries to do technology!

Ah well, the PA6T was many people's first hand guess since long, including mine.

Didn't think that PA-Semi had had the time to develop it enough to be fit into a consumer product though. Hmm, did Apple continue its development??

actually I made an educated assumption based on the information at the time. It seemed pretty aparent to me. I never get carried away! I also never Guess or Gamble.

Yes you do, but you call it "an educated assumption based on the information at the time", which pretty much is the same tag line *any gambler* would use! ;)

It's actually not as fast as I would have thought:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

8800 MIPS at 2.0 GHz.

Look at the figures of some of the Intel CPUS.

Having said that, it blows away existing and available PowerPC chips that are currently running AmigaOS 4.

@HammerD
It does not sound to shabby to me.
With its low wattage, I wonder if overclocking will have a linear or a non-linear graph with the temp.

How should one read that table? As the instructions / clock cycle rises quite fast with newer cpus, I assume it is mainly because they have more cores?
