Nobody here can run around headless and claim 50% overall performance here on an extrapolated estimate out from 1 synthetic bench :shrug:

Intel have proven superb with Conroe and Penryn how to kill hype before ti starts. Along with getting alot of free PR for basicly no effort.

Very easy to be PR friendly when your already on top:YIPPIE:

Im just hoping that C2D lights a fire under AMDs ass the same way A64 lit one under Intels... Then we all win :D

When is the official date for the NDA release? I thought it was sometime in later July.

there goes my Q6600 order. I'm gonna run with the wolf

Although I want to see some reliable benchmarks before going with Yorkfield, I'm sure I'll end up going with the cheaper Q6600. There is a reason why all these massive price cuts are coming July 22nd - to make room for the premium priced penryn chips. I don't know if it will be worth the big increase in cost.

^^if it means they'll expand as kia then why not. but no doubt Penryn is going to give them some headache unless they come with higher clocks for K10. i hope they're up to the challenge.

AMD needs to be a challenge? ... no not just a challenge, they need a penryn killer. unless they start making 1watt cpus AMD will be like they were when I had my last intel system. they need to come up with a good performance reason for people to buy their cpus and gpus again.

It would be nice if Barcelona was Penryn killer but what are the chances? They need to stay at least competitive in higher mainstream/highend otherwise AMD becomes a company selling low-end bang for the buck alternatives to Intel chips. Still lots of OEM builders would use them due to the price and efficiency.

People are not only about performance, most of them don't even know what are they buying. Kuma @1.9 GHz(45W) is still a luxury for people browsing web, listening to music, watching movies and ocasionally playing games. It's not just power users out there.

Rather good considering that AMD had over 3 years to work on it :rolleyes:

Good competition between these companies benefits us the end user in both cpu advances and in pricing so even though I have a house full of Intel equipment I am praying for AMD to come out with a monster.
