I'm very grateful for your insight. Jim – yes, you and several people made great observations on that LinkedIn thread I started that were most helpful in gauging the general sentiment about SiCortex.

You make a good point about comparing Intel 5400 series processors instead of 5500 series (aka Nehalem). In that case the difference is only about 4x on the per core STREAM number assuming you have the right chip set - there are some slower Intel chip sets. The SiCortex clock crank may have shrunk that number. Clearly, stride-1 access isn't the only issue but I don't have a feel for the memory latency so I can't comment on that. The issue with design cycles really comes down to the fact that Intel/AMD seem to have something significant to release every 2 years. The same time frame applies, by and large, to IB fabrics, perhaps 3 years for DDR to QDR? I think you may have quoted a few of my comments from LinkedIn.
