BAD HARDWARE WEEK

What a big Opteron class core!. Literally, it is. Shrinked in 65nm it is seems still sized over 300mm2.
AMD estimates that the power consumption of a Barcelona will fit within a 95W thermal envelope. An example cited for a two-socket system, plus memory, plus the chipset, is estimated at about 240W (not counting graphics and storage.) So, Rainier supercomputer will save 50+% on thermal dissipation and cooling expenses due to Barcelona or Deerhound. Oh, by the way, seems that worlds famous me too company has stolen Transmeta low power technology in their new emerald processor named Core Duo. Can we call it more correct Double steal?
I mean, Intel's Core Duo is developed in a country famous for lyars and thiefs, so Transmeta file has a big court chance starting in 2008.
