There is strong evidence suggesting that the chips used in those reviews, were bug ridden.

According to Dave Graham over at AMD Zone who has connections with AMD:



I knew something had to be wrong with those benches! The SSE performance in particular, was just too low considering the K10's enhancements in that area.
I cant understand how people believe AMD sent out bugged systems for review. I would near blindly accept this if they obtained them from a third party but AMD sent them, Seriously, Do you think this is likely?

Also it is pretty funny that a lot of amd fans are saying "I am not disappointed, k10 is great, I am very very happy with it,BUT ALSO DONT BELIEVE ANY OF THE REVIEWS i AM BASING THIS GREATNESS ON BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN DONE WITH BUGGED CHIPS AND MAKE IT LOOK BAD" LOL



What you see is what you get.
