@TD: Yeah, they are that bad. These chips are not really four core - just two piledriver modules. Each module has two INT units and one FPU unit. wPrime is a full FP benchmark, so even if the OS sees 'four' cores, it only has two FPU units to do it, so it looks like a dual core.

Did you forget to set the thread count to four, or do these chips perform real bad ?
