"VM = interpreter. No matter how much marketing people may want to convince you otherwise. If it's not native code, it's not run by native CPU, but by a virtual machine, it means it's interpreted." Nonsense. A just-in-time compiler compiles the bytecode to native code at runtime. Claiming this is "not native code" is BS.

Submission + - AMD Launches Barcelona Native Quad-Core Opteron (hothardware.com)

MojoKid writes: "AMD has officially launched their new Barcelona core Opteron quad-core processors today and specific model numbering details as well as speeds and feeds have emerged. These new, native quad-core AMD processors have 2MB of shared L3 cache on board, in addition to their individual 512KB per-core L2 caches and a top core speed currently at 2GHz. Also, in a move reminiscent of their campaign from long ago to debunk the "megahertz myth" with processor performance rating-type model numbers, AMD is announcing a new power consumption metric called "ACP" or "Average CPU Power". Finally, details of next generation AMD 45nm Shanghai quad-core and Sandtiger octal-core CPUs are listed here as well."
