Comparisons to Nehalem of similar clock speed, and if available, other units. Magny Cours is a very interesting chip. 12 processor cores in a single socket. This has some interesting implications for performance, and you have to pay attention to things you might not have thought you needed to before. A subsequent paper will cover this.
