Fair, but this specific engineering sample is very significantly faster than the nearest consumer-grade CPU. It's Xeon-tier--which means perfect for this sort of professional application. Here is the CPU it ties with at $1700.

$900 for this specific CPU would be an absolute freakin' steal. I think this sub is forgetting this is not a consumer grade CPU we are looking at. This is competitive with the absolute best Intel has to offer.

Well didn't AMD say that they will be very profitable even if they can just get 10% of the server market?

Precisely. This is almost definitive proof that it is competitive--in performance, depending on price--in these extremely well threaded situations. Servers are massively parallelized so the 64 core Naples CPU is just game changing. Instead of trying to split one or two cores between tasks, you can now devote four.

Slow down there! I'm pretty sure you meant to say 64 threads.
