Scroll down and look at the chart for a couple minutes and realize that even though they haven't always had the performance crown doesn't mean that it killed them nor did it mean they weren't working their ass off....
And my point is that over the past 3 years we have seen NO major architectural improvements in AMD processors at all. Higher clocks, DDR2 support, 65nm shrink (and a not very successful one it seems). Maybe it's too much to expect revolutionary change, but that list is evolutionary at the bare minimum imo.

K10 should have been out a year ago, giving Intel a worthy competitor to Conroe.


By the way, these specs are quite obviously made up. We go through the same thing EVERYTIME whenever we start to smell a new graphics card release. Some jackass pieces together rubbish from the Inq and Fudzilla and adds some "common sense" evolutionary bits to the spec, along with an arbitrary clock speed guess, and this makes us all shout "zomfgwtfbbq" and cream our pants.

Sorry I'm not biting on this one!
