Just to be clear, even though there are no benchmark results in this article, Michael was able to run a few tests?
I am inferring this from the fact that he seems to have been impressed with what he experienced and unless you actually run a few benchmarks and have some known results to compare to then there is nothing to be impressed by.
Also, and this goes for the NVIDIA hardware that was tested remotely not to long ago, unless I am able to physically confirm the configuration of the hardware, I tend not to trust what I am being told by an interested party regarding configuration.
AMD gave remote access for 3 days but there's really no way of know how the system was configured, Michael is relying on AMD being honest about how many Instincts there were and he is relying on a software readout as to how much power is being drawn.
I'm the type of guy that wants to confirm with my own eyes how many cards there are and use a hardware meter at the outlet to monitor power draw.
Maybe AMD can supply a single server with a single Instinct card for testing and Michael can then draw more accurate conclusions.
