AMD's 3GHz K10 to break 30,000 3DMark06 (Inq)

[LordEC911]

I think your'e wrong, and I must disagree with you this time.

Kyle Bennet is under NDA and he has already seen several Barcelona benchamarks(search for the Barcelona demo in San Francisco).

He actually said a few times that Barcelona\Phenom is going to end up faster than Core 2 and that he can't say much more than that.
So it would make much more sense to take his word for it over the highly unlikely Inq report, because there are some things he knows, which gives him a much better idea\estimate of Phenom's strength.

It's also strange, because people have always accused him of being an AMD fan, not the other way around.

But in any case, we should know soon.

Kyle was NOT in SF...
In fact he posted BS about Teraflop in a Box even though other techies who were actually in SF and had a Q/A with AMD were stating different numbers.

Kyle & Co. had decided a few months before the HD2900XT was released that is was a flop, so they decided to report it that way. I believe they are STILL using an early sample for their benchmarking.

There are too many reasons to list but Kyle & HardCrap do seem to be WAY too bias towards Nvidia right now, I haven't seen too much pro-Intel from them but that is because I can't handle their BS anymore.
You can of course come to your own conclusions but guessing that they are in Nvidia's pocket isn't too farfetched...
