I presume you mean 8 core Nehalem-EP, or did you mean 8 processor Nehalem-EX?

Don't get me wrong, I *like* the netperf 64K TCP_STREAM test, I lik it a lot!-) 
but I find it incomplete and also like to run things like single-instance TCP_RR 
and multiple-instance, multiple "transaction" (./configure --enable-burst) 
TCP_RR tests, particularly when concerned with "scaling" issues.

happy benchmarking,

rick jones
