I'm not sure that equal number of cores is the appropriate benchmark to |
| 11 |
use. I'd focus on equal total system cost, or equal total system |
| 12 |
wattage, or equal total system size or something along those lines. |
| 13 |
When I want to build a PC I don't want the best 2-core system I can get, |
| 14 |
I want the best system I can get for a given cost. If I were in a |
| 15 |
datacenter I might be more interested in power/heat since those have all |
| 16 |
too high a cost of their own. I really don't care who builds the best |
| 17 |
CPU around - unless I'm just looking to spend up to $10k and I really |
| 18 |
want the most power I can fit onto a motherboard. Then again, I don't |
| 19 |
drive a 911 either... :) |
