12-Core ARM Cluster Beats Intel Atom, AMD Fusion

[wraggster]

Phoronix constructed a low-cost, low-power 12-core ARM cluster (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=phoronix_effimass_cluster&num=1) running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and made out of six PandaBoard ES (http://pandaboard.org/) OMAP4460 dual-core ARMv7 Cortex A9 chips. Their results show the ARM hardware is able to outperform Intel Atom and AMD Fusion processors in performance-per-Watt, except it sharply loses out to the latest-generation Intel Ivy Bridge processors."This cluster offers a commendable re-use of kitchenware. Also, this is a good opportunity to recommend your favorite de-bursting tools for articles spread over too many pages.
