AM2 Reviews.. postem here!
Looks like Guru3D may be the first US site to post theirs. He also has the new 2GB 8500 kit from Corsair in there.

The FX-62 CPU we used today was supplied by AMD (for a couple of days). It's obviously is a fantastic CPU and even more apparent the fastest available to date. I was surprised that we could easily tweak another 350-400 MHz out of the CPU with just air-cooling. Hey it's done in seconds with the 590 mainboard (high frequency memory highly recommended here btw). Then there's that X2 4000+ processor we used. Dang .. it's a third of the price of that FX-62 yet with performance close to the FX-60 once overclocked.

AnandTech's AM2 review... interesting "cliff-hanger"
I was just reading AT's AM2 review and was suprised by the end of the article...
"In the coming months we will see the official launch of Intel's Core 2 Duo processors, based on the Conroe core. Only time will tell how availability will affect pricing of those CPUs, but Intel is quite eager to release them. AMD is also awaiting the launch of Core 2 Duo, though for different reasons; in fact one of its stipulations for sending out Socket-AM2 review kits was that the CPUs not be compared to Conroe. We understood and agreed with AMD's stance on the issue, simply because Core 2 Duo (Conroe) isn't shipping yet while AM2 is, but we do get a sense of concern whenever Conroe is brought up around AMD.
AMD does have one last trick up its sleeve before the end of the year, and you will hear about it in June. It's not K8L and it's not going to affect the majority of people, but it is an interesting stop gap solution for the high end in 2006..."
