These IA64 CPUs are supposed to be faster, and they have 2 cores each.

Faster than what? Older Itaniums? The ES40?


I need hard numbers (operations per second, or something)


what kind of operations? memory accesses? IOs? integer additions?

I can't give you hard numbers, but I would certainly expect the Itanium to be faster than your ES40 for an average workload.
