[Beowulf] Nehalem Xeons 55** series

[Tiago Marques]

According to Kazushige Goto, these are the peak performance numbers he
obtained with Linpack and GotoBLAS, with tuning for Nehalem not yet
completed.

AMD Opteron "Shangai" 6MB L3 : 90% of peak
Intel "Nehalem" Core i7 : 95.2% of peak
Intel Itanium 2 : 95.6% of peak

It's a Core i7 but should give you an idea.

Best regards,
                            Tiago Marques
