K10 Scores starting to surface

This is getting out of hands, someone seen a real chip yet

This is getting out of hands, someone seen a real chip yet

Those who have one or more of the newer revisions (Dave Graham, Gary Key, et al) seem to like it. But NOBODY and I mean NOBODY is going to break NDA to satisfy the curiosity of a bunch of overclockers. We're just going to have to wait till Monday for a glimpse of some sort of reality.

A handful of those who don't have a chip spend 24 hours a day on here engaged in some of the wildest bunch of speculation I believe that I've ever witnessed in my entire life.

Both sides at this point...have gone completely insane...blinded by impatience. And patience is a virtue .

One way or the other, a whole bunch of folks on XS are setting themselves up for a fat meal of crow next week.

Speculation = bad. Facts = good.

Heated arguments and personal attacks based on wild speculation = retarded.

That's assuming we get to see retail/desktop/client side chips for performance, if AMD only allows server benchmark reviews the debate will only get more heated.

Hopefully we will see not only the SPEC suit, but Black-Scholes, Apache and others, as well as some desktop applications....

This whole saga has been fun to watch....

I know it, and I'm intentionally NOT getting my hopes up that we'll have some sort of definitive snapshot of K10 performance by 5 p.m. Monday

Now I'm hoping against hope that even if AMD doesn't put out a full suite of relevant benchies...at least the Dave Grahams and their ilk will be able to show us a few desktop benchies with NDA lifted.

Yeah, this thing has been a real trip the last few months, that's for sure. I think we have about half a dozen people accounting for thousands and thousands of posts over that time.

I will say this much though...reading through all the crazy arguments...there is an incredible amount of stuff I've learned. Makes you appreciate how knowledgeable our forum members are...it's pretty incredible really. Some smart, smart dudes hanging around here. Even if they are insane fanboys one way or the other

Hence the reason I hang out in the forums at times ...

Jon Stokes made an amusing quip in his Tigerton launch article,

I think we'll see that in the near-term, four-socket Barcelona systems will dominate four-socket Xeon systems in specfp_rate and in floating-point performance/watt. CPU-bound workloads will tell a different story, however, which is why I expect to see fanboys in both camps stinking up the Internet with specfp_rate versus spec_fp debates following the September 10 launch.

Gave me a bit of a chuckle....

Right? Like the arguing will stop Monday

As far as learning from these boards...I used to work for a bricklayer who would teach me some certain thing and then say "see, you learned something today. You had a reason to get out of bed this morning".

XS forums always give me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Oh well then we wait and see as usual, I am not a superPi freak, my main intrest is how well the preform in real life, fore instans in a htpc/mediapc
and offcourse the $$$$
