IBM is pretty safely ahead of Intel in per-core speed. (Eg the Power S824 cint/fp rate results at http://spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2014q3/ http://spec.org/cp

- sounds 12y agoAre you sure? Yes, Power8 has impressive single threaded benchmarks. But Intel has long dominated the single threaded performance market due to their fab edge and their economies of scale (lets them put more into R&D than IBM). Just wondering if you have more benchmarks than what looks like Spec benchmarks? I'm definitely interested if another manufacturer can beat Intel at single-threaded performance.
