That's a Conroe 4 months before release, not too many bugs or excuses there. Just goes to show how shoddy this release has been. How many more months can it be strung out that AMD will rule ... if you wait just a little bit longer. I am sure I have been hearing this from just before 65nm K8 and that ended in nothing but a massive let down with its poor overclocking and slow cache. Slow cache, hmm, that rings a bell with the K10 ...

As an avid overclocker since the Celeron 300A all I can say is

PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

Or can you not put up AMD merchants? Show us the scores.

Don't bother quoting me and arguing the other side, just put up some earth shaking benchmarks in the desktop space. If Conroe can get good scores 4 months before release then Phenom should be able to provide similar 2 months before if it is that good, or are AMD just dicking around still in the quicksand ?

This is another HD2900XT all over again.

Ohh Andy, your on a roll today!
I think what happenned is that AMD backed themself into a corner.
They had moved the release date I think twice and knew they couldn't do it again BUT, they still had some issues with the chips so they kept it all quiet as long as possible( great job doing that) with the hope that they would solve the issues before release. It seems they didn't but JUST seems that way.
I think that given 60-90 days they will correct most of the issues and then is when we should make our judgements not today..
Just my 2 cents pal..
