Dempsey, Woodcrest, and the G5 Mac

Last week I reported on what I thought was a simple comparison between Apple's high end desktop competitive position two years ago and its position now. Unfortunately a lot of readers thought was I doing something else - either comparing system performance and ignorantly equating Intel's latest "Woodcrest" CPU line...

Scale-up and scale-out

As I listen to server manufacturers these days the choice seems to come down to "scale-up" or "scale-out." The former meaning that you can get more processing power by adding more processors in the same server (symmetric multi-processing, or SMP). The latter technique increases processing...
