[Beowulf] Does anyone have info on scientific benchmarks on Conroe yet?

[Brian Dobbins]

Hi guys,

  It seems some of the NDA material for Intel's Conroe processor were
lifted last night, and several websites are posting information and
benchmarks (in the form of games, of course!).  I was wondering if any
of the gurus here happened to get their hands on any of the test systems
and ran any scientific codes - I'd be very curious to hear the results,
considering the FPU performance Conroe is said to have.

  (Besides better memory bandwidth, it's said to have a 1-cycle SSE
throughput, lower power usage, etc.)

  It's not scheduled for release until 3Q of this year, but it'd be nice
to have a heads-up with regards to what we can expect.  Ideally I'd love
some linpack scores, or standard CFD-type benchmarks, but pretty much
anything would be nice.

  Anyone have any information?

  Thanks,
  - Brian
