Test Setup
As we mentioned before, we did not have the cards for more than a day and a half. While shipping issues hindered our efforts, we wanted to get out as much information into your hands as possible within the short timeframe available. We will have the multi-processor results shortly and in that article we will discus more about power requirements and how some of these new memory changes impact performance and power consumption.
