K10 Scores starting to surface

[hawkeyefan]

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 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

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 $$$$

AMD Phenom to be available in small scale by October
From our friends in the industry, it is said that small quantities of Phenom processors should be available on sale as early as October.

There is no mentioning of the model and the price and exact availability date.
Looks like we will have to wait.

End of October for Phenom loving (at least some lucky dudes will be able to play with it)
