:eek::eek::eek:
love the 1st april :D
if it really an april fools joke, it's the most elaborate one ever :D
thats pure r_pe if its true lol nice comeback
OMG, that's a lot of work for an April 1st joke... almost makes you hope it isn't.
i hope it isn't, we will see :)
*scratches head*
can anyone explain these results?
http://www.amdzone.com/joomla/index....2&limitstart=5
Zambezi @ 2.8 GHz = 23398 vantage score with 14091 gpu score & 19231 cpu score
Core i7-975 EE = 19384 vantage score with 18637 gpu score & 21447 cpu score
core i7 gets higher gpu & cpu score yet the vantage score is lower? wtf
2 choices :
1) fake
2) idiot
"Finaly if all else fails AMD's Bulldozer has an aggressive cache system." lol
considering even the time lines up... 01 April 2010 01:01
yeah, that's gotta be an elaborate, and frankly well-played AF joke.
today i'm not buying for anything :D
BTW, isn`t Interlagos AMD`s upcoming server processor based on the Bulldozer core?Either way, but like they said in the article, by next year everything will be settled and Intel will finally have a worthy competition.I can`t wait!
Heh, I know the author back when we were both moderators on the vegastrike forums... he seemed like the type who might do all that work for an April fools, but I can't say for sure.
They should add a graph showing high temperatures with caption "The chip is designed to run at high temperature so there is no effect on quality or longevity."
i think were getting punked:cool:
Well, I emailed the author but I don't know if he even uses that email address anymore. In any case, the article is full of win.
pre-production chips at 3.2ghz, with the review posted on april 1st. Got me fooled, lol.
loved this chat:

What GPU were used with interlagos? ATI 9870? :D
1st april........
Lol, just got to that chart as well. Bit of a giveaway even though some of the other benches look fine...
I hope it true it will give intel a run for its money!
yeah, the only way any IT site could possibly pull an April fools is if they released info that turned out to be true. No one buys anything on this day anymore.
I want interlagos =(
Love some of the spelling errors, lol.
