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!
one silly stupid thought but, have you considered that during those 3+ years that AMD has been developing a new design to such a degree that little to none of the features came out in existing products.
Kinda like how K6 never had K7's improved Floating point performance
