K10 Scores starting to surface

All I know is I want to see AMD come out with a dual socket 8 core system that can kick the crap out of my clovers.
That will accomplish many things:
1) Strengthen AMD's share of the marketplace
2) Force Intel to "work" harder
3)Drop prices for all of us
4)Give the AMD fans something to smile about.
It's been a long year for you guys and I can understand the frustration.
I'm not being sarcastic there, I mean that.

I think everyone can agree with this.

QFT!

Agree also, but i lost faith.
Intel will get even bigger and AMD wont catch up.
AMD has to go with low price to sell if the cpu isnt performing.
It just look bad..and dark and evil Intel is happy.

Forgeting all the other points, there is one thing that tends to get overlooked that AMD does that is much better than Intel's solution: cpu placement on a dual socket board.
With the large spacing that AMD uses one can use a top end aftermarket heatsink.
On the intels with just one inch between the sides of the sockets your much more limited..

This is in general true, but I think Intel did themselves on very good one by keeping 45 nm Penryn family in the same socket, and evidently drop in.... this does not happen often.

Yes, and I have confirmation that my current SM boards will take the Harpertowns with the current available bios from SM site.
Got that from SM on the phone this week..
I just want them to add another 2 inches between the sockets so we can use some good heatsinks..
