I don't see anything insulting in my post and don't see the reason for you to defend metro 'cos I wasn't attacking him, or using any "banana" words!
It's clear as a day from his recent posts and factless arguing with Dave, that metro is… well, let's say disappointed with Barcelona, but hasn't really got any real supporting argument for that state of spirit. And with that attitude he's engaging confrontation with Dave who has all the hard facts about CPU, and it's performance…

And finally metro is writing to Dave that he's sold to AMD (BTW why didn't you reacted when metro accused Dave that he's "sold to AMD"?) . So I've asked myself why he's acting so frustrated and finally he's giving us an answer:

" Read this i believe you know Kris and also i leak because as i've said before is the only thing i can do since we don't get the hardware we want even thought we are like Top 5 hardware review website in Spanish."

And now he's giving us evidence that he was really recognized by Advanced Micro TWO years ago, he has loved his Opteron, it's allegiance to AMD is true – he has true rarity 2900XT 1GB etc.
Unfortunately AMD doesn't recognize that any more, although he's trying to improve that, unfortunately without results, 'cos "AMD doesn't care about SA"…

Back to the beginning: you don't need to defend metro, 'cos I was giving him friendly advice not to go with the route of leaking, 'cos that will not improve his relationship with AMD, quite contrary! And believe me I know what I'm writing about!!

Also he should stop paying attention what Kubicki is writing about 'cos that boy screws up badly his reputation, and not any call upon rebellion against NDA will not improve things! Reputation is the only weapon that IT jurno has and when it's lost once it's lost for good. And if metro is making living from his site he'll be smarter than Kubicki.
So once again, metro, you should try to work out things with AMD if you want to be recognized by them, leaking will not get you anywhere, and in the long run will diminish aggregated clicks on account of leakage.

Concerning the K10, you haven't see but fragment of info in those PDF's that you've got, about upcoming stuff
