It was demonstrated on upcoming 22nm "Ivy Bridge" microprocessor which will be the first high-volume chip to use 3-D Tri-Gate transistors. Informative article on this at Anandtech too."

I guess while even the much slower 2.0GHz Barcelona is due soon (but STILL not shipping yet) AMD didn't think results from the 2.0 would look good enough -even against the slower Xeons they picked.
Maybe the right comparison should be either best cpu against best cpu -OR compare ones at the same price — and only shipping products."

Submission + - How to best measure datacenter computing units

Glasswire writes: "As more corporate and governmental datacenters are consolidating, IT management in these organizations is often trying to keep individual departments or business units from buying their own servers/storage and instead 'buy' computing capacity units from a central pool of IT resources. At least that's the theory behind the 'Utility Computing' model.
My questions to the mob are:
1) What models of measurement for computing units ("cpu-time/storage-utilized/RAM-used" to get a unit of work done) have been proposed and work?
2) And what tools (ideally architecture/OS independent) are there to count the units and facilitate chargebacks across multiple dissimilar systems?"
