We have four shiny new AMD Shanghais in the lab. We had to buy thermal paste. We’re waiting for new BIOS/firmware to get started. The HP 585 G5 in our lab blew papers across the room when we fired it up. They should supply earplugs with it…… and maybe a city block worth of solar cells, too.

Soon we’ll be testing with it to compare it to Intel’s Xeons. I wonder if it’ll be Xeoff, or Xeon, afterward.

It’s a beautiful day. Time to twiddle our thumbs and wait for updates.
