I don't know what availability is, of course. But I doubt that Intel would mind Nehalem benchmarks even if it were a paper launch - at least from my personal experience, I've not seen any bad behavior (and plenty of good). > This was run on another testbox (4x4 Barcelona) that rocks similarly > well in terms of memory subsystem latencies: which seems to be > tbench's main current critical path.
