Check AcesHardware.

Seems like IBM is finishing porting DB2 to the Hammer architecture. They're estimating the power of a single hammer as that of a four way Xeon

ooo baby, Sounds good

but I think they say a 4 way opteron (at release) will 40% faster than a 4 way xeon (fastest p4 xeons's)

no mention of exact clock frequencies.

I stand corrected.

The Opteron 4 way server is running at 1.1Ghz
