I'll take Movieman's advice. But first; I didn't come here to insult folks like one other poster.

Whatever it is, it's Hyped out the wa-zoo but hidden from that public. The simple point still stands, if it kicked ass, AMD would be leaking real benchmarks all over the place. NDA's would have been lifted long before its official launch as well. Bad sign.

Now please link to where I said anything close to flame bait like that? Movieman I'm 50 years old and no, these childish replies don't bother me, that's why I didn't add to the flames. He's absolutely clueless and is posting feeling instead of established norms.

Examples.
Paper launch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A paper launch is the situation in which a product is compared or tested against other products, despite the fact that it is not available to the public at ... en.wikipedia.org
That's what Intel and AMD have been jumped for since the term was invented.

Why does Intel have to control the benchmarking environment? It is not an objective review methodology with Intel controlling the systems and software. Credibility is seriously in question.

Looks like another desperate paper launch so they can give the impression of keeping pace with AMD. More reacting to AMD.
If you guys think I'm the only one using the Term paper launch like this, you're crazy.
