Back to Barcelona: DailyTech reported that partners were talking about speeds of 2.0-GHz. I didn't get that (I heard a "possibly 1.8-GHz at launch"), but we are still (unfortunately) talking about early silicon. What's known as the "B0" stepping is out, and the "B02" stepping should be available shortly, I was told.

Demolous why do you believe that B02 will hit 2.5ghz?
Isn't there more than just a scaling problem . If the 1 benchmark is correct. It doesn't matter if K10 scales to 3.3 it still is slower than Intel c2d.

So this new B02 has to fix more than just a scaling problem.

Now I have a question for ALL users. Everyone is saying that AMD needs to beat intel . So as to bring even lower prices. Intel didn't have to sell C2D at such low prices to start with. They had a better product . It is Intel who brought these lower prices not AMD as many are saying . If Amd k10 is better than C@D it well be back to higher prices again for AMD. But not Intel .

So if AMD leads in performance higher prices . If intel keeps the performance lead . lower prices.

Proven fact by history . Intel tries to maintain its margins. Ever time they do a new process we see lower prices . History shows this from the very Beginning.

The thing I don't get is why is it so important that AMD take the performance lead? Why can't Intel keep it? AMD won't just disappear. They are a value sector company thats all they will ever be. Whats wrong with that? So they had a batter come to the plate and hit a home run thats not the end of the game.

From what I have seen Intel leading in performance means lower prices . AMD leading in performance means higher prices. Now we could debate this till were blue in the face but history well show I speak the trueth.

One thing good that came out this week is this.

1. We know now why AMD showed only task manager in Dec.(AMD couldn't be honest with us. WHY?
2. AMDs dec report was a complete fabracation that cost investors millions of dollars . Why isn't someone going to jail for fraud. HECTOR
3. B0 had people dancing in the streets. More lies who is responsiable is unknown.
4 . May or june launch time . More lies who is responsable is again unknown .

5 , 1st half 07 release . Maybe true have to wait another 23 days to be another lie . AMD responsiable.

6. estimated performance figures . or should we just say it like it is . More lies from amd .

I don't care if your an Intel user or an Amd user. The lies that AMD has perpetraited in the last year is wrong and I believe taken as a whole because of stock movements was infact fraud screwing investors out of millions of dollars. Taken as a whole these lies = fraud . I for one am going to make sure its looked into and I have the $$ to do it. Hector should be like deported or something . I know if I met him on the sreet I would beat has ass to a pulp. The lieing piece of garbage
2. Bo stepping had people
