I'm not sure I really agree with everything in his "Brainiacs vs Speed demons" chart. For instance, Power7s generally have higher performance than thread than 'Cores i's, and have about the same ILP. And given that Power7 is 4-way SMP instead of 2-way SMP like the Intel processors I'm not sure why the 'Core i's are listed as being more brainaiacish.
