Good points(and redbull's too).I can't remember in recent past,the time that AMD "pre-demoed" it's new uarch. and that it performed at the same level as it would when it hit the retail.We remember the early K7 "disastrous" tests with low FPU scores,than it was early K8's that could clock like *** and was later reviewed at Xbitlabs as 2800+ and barely beat K7 at the same clock
,then it was early Anand's AM2 preview that showed only decrease of perf. over s939(at the end ,on average with solid DDR2 RAM, AM2 chips were 3-5% faster than s939 with good DDR1,and
rarely slower )
So yes,let's wait for the 19th and judge then.
