Bigger caches ? Where ?Bigger caches ? Where ?Posted Feb 21, 2008 9:53 UTC (Thu) by renox (subscriber, #23785)In reply to: Bigger caches ? Where ? by hmh Parent article: vmsplice(): the making of a local root exploit
>Look at the IBM Power6 for some high-clock cores... Except that apparently they had a lot of difficulty ramping up the clock.. Plus their CPU does *in order* integer processing which induce a loss of efficiency.. It'd be interesting to have a study which analyse whether going in order for integer processing to increase the clock really did improve performance or if it was just a marketing gimmick a la P4.

Power 6 clock high-score and real performance Posted Feb 23, 2008 17:14 UTC (Sat) by anton (guest, #25547) [Link] It'd be interesting to have a study which analyse whether going in order for integer processing to increase the clock really did improve performanceTake a look at SPEC CPU 2006 results. Last I looked, a 4.7GHz Power6 had similar speed to a 3GHz Core 2 Duo 6850 in both SPECint2006 and SPECfp2006 results.
