Intel Shows Off 8-Core 45nm Penryn Benchmarks

[xsbb]

And if they can't?

Running benchmarks to show Intel is superior is something Intel WOULD LOVE!!! At this point...Intel should just run and publish every benchmark and make AMD put up or shut up. If AMD responds and wins a few, Intel will still make plenty of $$$$, or start a price war. If AMD doesn't, free advertisement and just more publicity for the better chip (but, it might cannibalize CNR/KFD sales)

That is the last thing AMD should do!!!

In a time before K7 AMD used sandbagging strategy that made Intele beleve that K7 won't go beyond 600 MHz

In a time before K8 same aproach was used (some of us still remember some preliminary tests of K8 couple of months before finall version. It looked like K8 sudenlly overnight gone form 800 MHz to 2 GHz!).

So far sandbagging proved good for AMD. Thee's no reason to think diferent in a case of K10.

And this intel strategy is so expected. You know guys this thing that these companies are doing is written in the management school books, and it's not hot water!

Only thing different from the past times and now is the pressure form the vastly expanded public on the Net, and Intel knows that and its' using it's army of fanboys to hit up atmosphere!

It's just like in a sports one team is using its position in a game, and public energy in effort of not allowing opposing team counteroffensive.

All this marketing gimmicks is irrelevant. In Q3 when K10 is out we'll se the reall state of things!

Well said. AMD is quiet. Perhaps too quiet and I definitely agree with the "sandbagging" concept.
