To continue my thread about AMD’s future Quad-core processors code named “Barcelona” (a.k.a. K8L), I need to elaborate a bit on my last installment on this thread where I pointed out that AMDs marketing material suggests we should expect 70% better OLTP performance from Barcelona than Socket F (Opteron 2220). To be precise, the [...]

I am a huge AMD fan, but I am now giving up my hopes of finding any substantial information that could be used to predict what Oracle performance might be like on next year’s Barcelona (a.k.a. K8L) quad-core processor. I did, however, find another interesting blog while trolling for information on this topic. I [...]

I was doing a little trolling around the AMD website for more information on the AMD quad-core “Barcelona” processor when I stumbled across a pretty humorous webpage.
The webpage is in the AMD video presentations section. The presentation was about the combination of 64-bit computing and Real Application Clusters. Some of the [...]
I haven’t seen much in the Oracle blogosphere on this topic. Let me see if I can get it going…
AMD’s move into quad-core processors has me thinking. First, I like how this arstechnica.com article about AMD’s quad-core “Barcelona” processor is a ”true” quad-core as opposed to the Xeon 5300 family which is actually [...]
