The testingboard only have SINGLECHANNEL working. Plus higher latency than another board. But they couldnt keep the other board long enough. SO all tests are done on the faulty.

THESE TESTS ARE TRIPLE CHANNEL

read thorugh the article, they use DDR3 1066, MAX theoretical BW on a single channel is 8533 MB/S, there is NO way they get 12 gb/s with a single channel , maybe it still isn't tweaked enough but AMD barely hits 11gb/s on DDR2 1066 so these tests have to run at triple channel, maybe dual if intel found a miracle way to get close to 100% efficiency

looking good, AMD'S going to be in the same position they are today if they manage to launch it at the same time amd'S going to release K10 45nm (K10 done right) with higher NB frequencies, higher clocks (maybe 3ghz).

intel's going to keep the lead for a longer time, however we still don't know the performance of their dual channel parts and how fast their NUMA arch is (we still don'T know this for amd either as 45nm finally brings HT3 to the server market...)

going to be some interesting months with all these new CPUs and GPUs, can'T wait until this stuff gets released
