Rob, am I missing something here or is there something wrong with these stats.
The top one, E5-2630 v2 @ 2.60GHz gets 3x times the amount of GFLOPS/core. And then when you go down the list the i5's are beating the i7's?

Hi Mike,
Consider these two aspects also in that list:
1) The list is an average of gigaflops measured per machine per core, but no indication how long each machine runs per day. So in this case, I could see the i5's beating the i7's if those particular owners run them 24-7. (This is just a guess). Feel free to research this more.
2) Although I have been fervently searching for people who run rosetta on a GPU and cannot find any evidence of GPU on rosetta, please feel free to search, It is possible Rosettas complex protein folding software libs may run better on machines with certain graphics coprocessor brands.
I searched for the top dog out of the 48,000 hosts, who accumulates More RAC in his class take a look at this guy:

Coprocessors NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (2048MB) driver: 388.13 OpenCL: 1.2
It could very well be that those machines with Nvidia GeForce video cards crunch 4-5* faster than those without, even though the software is not specifically using a GPU. This is a new world of expirimentation and learning.
