>Some informal internal testing

Ivar, that's why I said it was informal testing, as opposed to something more scientific :) Good and bad are obviously subjective, the implication simply being that if you're going to buy a box from Sun today to run a full desktop environment you're probably better off going with Sparc IV or Opteron over a T1 machine.

I expect something more detailed will be out soon. I'm certainly looking forward to getting some more info.

That's an interesting thought.. is there any resonable way to quantify SunRay performance in a way that you could compare Opteron vs UltraSparcIII vs Niagara based systems? Would be cool to have the SimDacenter tool have a metric for this as well...

It would be nice if Sun would provide some more information about what to expect from their servers in a sunray environment when they launch the systems. Maybe a Sunray benchmark is needed for this?

Or might sun focus on the niagara II to be the real sunray server?
