This link to his 25k (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6976768) will tell you its perfectly normal default bench with a badass AMD rig :D
Pretty fat score, fo sho ;)

Why? :confused:

because a lot of you guys are going to be getting it & it is pretty expensive. It looks like it will crush a lot of benchmark records too
hows your rc racing going btw?

It's not THAT uber ;)
This Operton's/A64's are really odd ducks. They seem adnormally strong in games, but weak everywhere else.
This is the best review to date I've seen on what to expect:
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,1257396,00.asp
Now, I play a lot of games, but I also work with my computer...often with 8-10 apps running.
Opteron still has no answers for Hyperthreading:

Tough call...we'll just have to see how the chips/board overclock.
As for what I've seen so far...well, it looks to me the absolute cheapest A64 will be over $400 (the 'good' ones over $600), and just about anyone can overclock a $170 2.4C up to what an A64 can do in games, while keeping the other P4 benefits.
We'll see.

interesting, I also said that because in two weeks I'll have enough for prommy, & for that to to come & be uber once I have enough for prommy, might be a reason to go back to AMD (i used to have a xp2700)

prometeia is a longer term investment, CPUs last 3 months max, Prometeias will be good for years ;)

it puts up some monster gaming numbers but i would like to see it next to a maxed out 2.4c. And yet we still don't know what will happen when you put one of these bad boys under a mach II

I think this a very very nice result for AMD, it got me excited and that's what it is all about, looking at hardware and seeing an improvment over the older generation.
However, reading some of the forums you'd think it was all over now and AMD has won. I'd say lets see what Prescott can do first as well, after all it is only a month or so after the AMD release.
It wouldn't matter so much if both options were cheap, but they will cost a lot and so it better to make the right decision and bide your time, see what the average overclock is for each from the bleeding edge guys and make a decision based on that.
My own feelings are that for the average guy the Amd will be the better bet, for the extreme guy Intel, but I might be wrong.
One thing is, I'd forget these stories of Prescott running hot, for us lot it will not matter, only to some office worker in Mumbai with it stuffed into a small case with no air con and a ceiling fan going around. That's who Intel have to worry about.

the price will come down
AMD know they will sell anything they can produce right now at almost any price
itll change :)

Very true JC. I see a lot of posts from people who are saying they are going to get it but when the cold light of the financial day strikes they will be having second thoughts.
But you are right, it will change. AMD buyers expect eventually to get millions of transistors packaged in a billion dollar fab for less than a copper heatsink built in a shed :), so that is what they will get. Eventually. Shame really, AMD need the money to invest.
It's funny how it has gone, first AMD had Heammer slammed for a long time and was in the doldrums, then Intel let things get loose with new power requirements and supposedly high heat problems, and now AMD is striking back with chips that will clock well, a first for AMD so soon after launch !
Who knows how many twist and turns it will take from now on, but one thing is for sure, the real nitty gritty and the real results will be provided by people who read xtremesystems.org and really poke and prod both chips.
Are you going to be one of those JC ? It would be good if you said yes, you have been too quiet and we would like your experience at the leading edge.

Most of us have seen this before. So we should be wary of pre-production sample processors. How will the actual retail versions perform? How well will they overclock on air and with extreme cooling? What about motherboard compatibility and performance? And then there's price.
And still we haven't seen even a sample Prescott to compare it with.
