i think its about time school is going to start again.... so you guys can learn something.
the benches are from a 2 socket opteron socket and as additional info the memory is running 667 speeds cas5. what superpi perfromance do you expect.
the performance can't be compared with the phenom. try to bench a k8 with memory 667 cas5 and then change it to 1066 cas5 like the demo system AMD is showing. even at the same speed it will be a huge performance difference.
looking and comparing the cpu-z from Coolaler to mine it is a fact that his sample is a dvt or early bird from oem. so it will be the chip that launches within a few days. All features are enabled, K10 is no INT miracle it will be as fast as core and no penryn is not faster then conroe, it's just when the program is affected by cache or not it will be faster clock/clock and the magic sse4. k10 will increase the gap on fpu and IO even more not to mention virtualization. How well it scales will be depending on the new stepping coming in oktober and you'll see how well it does when people get phenom es in there hands.
informal's information about the bios is correct, it is changing alot, systems with b0 had no CPU options in BIOS available except changing HT speed.
