I'm surprised there haven't been any ridiculous comments posted for it, like "Overclocks to 5GHz on air, beats anything Intel could ever conceive; don't believe the reviews! They all hate AMD!". Of course to make this more realistic you'd have to add a ton of spelling errors and terrible grammar.
I just put one of those turkeys in my cart and they already put the stuffing on my cc. Any way everyone have a great turkey day and keep overclocking

I wish the sites would get the L2 cache right. AFAIK, it is 4 x 512, which is only 2MB and then 2MB of L3 shared.
Don't know why the desc says 4MB L2 :rolleyes:

Why the low amount of cache? Is it because of the IMC??

AMD processors don't really need the cache, since there is no huge bottleneck between each processing core and the processors -> memory bus. That's why Intel's love cache.
Plus, the architecture is quite different, while AMD's don't benefit from massive amounts of cache too much.
