That's the reason for my question...they began shipping in March, but I have yet to see any product announcements or benchmarking.
The only performance numbers I've seen came from SuperMicro on their sales pitch in Japan.
It shows the 2 GHz model at 31w and performing ~27% slower than Paxville at 3.6 GHz.
Xbit article
Now we know that the Opteron @ 2.4 GHz completely anhiliates (51% faster) the 3 GHz Paxville in 64bit, but drawing conclusions from this just doesn't cut it...
I really need a head to head comparison of the 275 HE and the Sossoman 2 GHz (the two top of the lines) to figure out the performance part of the perf/watt ratio...
We also don't really know what kind of power these 2 actually draw (TDPs are useless)...
The original reason I asked though is that I don't understand why things are so quiet on the Sossoman lately. I would have assumed at least SOME kind of data by now!

27% slower on floating is about right since yonah has a crippled float datapath. Nobody is going to build a yonah blade to do that kind of work. If you want data you might have to look on publications catered towards the server IT community, because nobody except them would be interested in this setup.

I don't think an inq article can be considered a review.

Oh really? I would love to discuss semantics with you. Do continue, please.

What I'm getting at is the Inq isn't known for their journalism, it's known for throwing out bits of info and basing entire stories around them. A lot of speculation, little substance to most of their "articles." Take what they say with a grain of salt.

If you like to consider that a review...then so be it, i'd much rather read this for a review of a dell system.
