I was disappointed that RIcky said it only gets 1.7X the performance which means that adding the second chip only gives 70% more performance. I was also shocked that when asked question "Since you round robin the threads on the core how many thread are actually running at once" they insisted it was 128 (vs. 32) then strangely talked about how they run two threads at the same time better than Intel's HyperThreading. I also did not hear how this was going to be a database class systems vs. the web only T2 system. The chips cores are the same so they only support light threads. If anything the removal of two of the memory controllers would decrease its database performance. Obviously, no one would ever use this system for Oracle since it requires 12 licenses for about a half million dollars US. Certainly having only 6 slots is a major inhibitor for performance and reliability. Also curious about 1.4GHz availability given the heat density of the system. Command line thread partitioning is unacceptable, only time will tell if Sun's promises of a GUI with dynamic management will come to fruition. Obviously the relationship with Fujitsu continues to be strained as the M-Class systems are deemphasized.
