Damnit Duvie, you know what kind of image I have in my head now? :|
I look forward to faster products because it drives down pricing... generally.
BTW, there was a Conroe ES for sale on eBay already, from a supposed legit seller in Malaysia that often sells ES chips.

That cpu score is very low.
I get 6400 CPU score on much older Intel CPU 840EE. I dont think the dual core +HT is the reason.

Intel has shown in the past to excel at synthetic benchmarks, and this isn;t even supported or hardware you can buy, so again, its only an indicator, that its probably better than anything AMD will field in the next year.

Doesn't the M in SuperPi tests stand for "million decimal places" and not MegaBytes?
1M = 1 million decimal places and not 1 Megabyte?
4M = 4 million decimal places and not 4 MB?
etc.
etc.

I am actually asking this question, not stating it as any factoid. Some folks who seemed knowledgable over at XS mentioned this in correcting others who though M stood for Megabyte in SuperPi.
try this:
>>> import sys, math
>>> dir(math)
['__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'acos', 'asin', 'atan', 'atan2', 'ceil', 'cos', 'cosh', 'degrees', 'e', 'exp', 'fabs', 'floor', 'fmod', 'frexp', 'hypot', 'ldexp', 'log', 'log10', 'modf', 'pi', 'pow', 'radians', 'sin', 'sinh', 'sqrt', 'tan', 'tanh']
>>> pi = 48 * math.atan(1/float(49)) + 128 * math.atan(1/float(57)) - 20 * math.atan (1/float(239)) + 48 * math.atan(1/float(110443))

Edited for accuracy.

well, when was the last time a new architecture launched? K8, and that was a few years back. New architectures don't exactly come around very often, and when a new one comes around and its pwning the living daylights out of everything else of course people are gonna be excited.

Thanks Mr. Wizard, but I have no clue what any of that means, nor does in answer my initial question (in any way that I could understand at least). But I appreciate your enthusiasm.
So, M does indicate "million decimal places" then and not "Megabytes". So then all the arguments about fitting a 1M SuperPi run completely in it's cache is somewhat bogus. As the gent above stated, a 1M SuperPi run requires 8MB of memory to run the calculation to 1 million decimal places. And even the Conroe with 4MB of cache will have to hit the system memory even in the 1M test.

that 23min time is actually slower then what it sholuld be, the 32M test wants to use more memmory then he has, so its getting bottlenecked, it would likely improve considerably with 1gig of RAM.
