Would anyone from inmos care to comment on this number?
It seems rather high to me - I would be very interested
if anyone could give a breakdown of this SPECmark into
its component parts. Has inmos released any predicted
performance figures for the T9000 (no, I won't ask for
a predicted shipping date - we need more than a geometric
mean to calculate that one ;-)
