I was pretty impressed with my R&D thunderx system. def agree on the worklaod type - using it for compilation or other cpu intensive tasks it was a bit slower than comparable intel CPU's (Xeon E5-xxxx class). but we had a heavily multi-threaded, network intensive workload that it did a pretty good job handling. the embedded 40Gig NIC on our R&D unit was pretty impressive as well, as was power draw in our lab. sadly i left that gig before i had a chance to advocate to get it into prod - kinda wish i still worked at that job for all the fun hardware i had access to :) -pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
