Just installed my new C2050 and immediately ran a benchmark to test vs. my good old C1060.
Expecting around 50% improvement (double number of cores) i was deeply disappointed to find that it was actually slower than the C1060.
After about an hour I found out about turning off ECC and indeed with ECC turned OFF the bench ran as expected - 50% faster than C1060.
My question is: why is there such an overhead for ECC, I would understand a small slowdown, but a 100% slowdown (relative to the ECC OFF runtime) seems excessive…
