Hopefully we will see no 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
