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.


Still playing the old disk ?

The systems were sent by AMD , secondly IBM published benchmarks too and they used a B1 chip , Anandtech used B2.So AMD screwed IBM and the public ? Mind you , AMD's own benchmarks were done on B1 or earlier.

Bx chips do not have performance bugs , they have only different scaling capabilities.End of story.
