Xeon SP
I thought that the new Xeon SP nomenclature was also meant to make (Intel) CPU selection/comparison easier?
Ah, the good old days of server benchmarks, when CPU variations were few and clock rates ruled the roost. Now we have four different Xeon SP CPU families, one with two model lines, and each family has its own set of CPUs with differing core counts, threads and clock rates. Vendors put these in either blade or rackmount servers …
