Dear all,
I've received a quote from Dell for a C6220 setup with Intel Xeon
E5-2650v2 @2.6 GHz CPUs.
I am a bit surprised about the pricing, so I wanted to ask you if you
have HS06 measurements for this CPU. I would like to compare them to
the last purchase (AMD Opteron 4386 @ 3.1 GHz, £10.77/HS06). The only
values I found are probably for the v1 version [1].
Also, do you have a table of different configurations and their power
& space usage as well as GBP per HS06?
Cheers,
Luke
