Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh AMD is still safe anyway. Thanks to scienta thinking outside the box he deduced that AMD need not worry because Nehalem was tested using to many threads which really never happens (((some of the shrewder of you may very well point out that many AMD supporters including sci have eagerly pointed out that phenom was actually a better cpu than penryn or at least viable because under highly multi threaded apps it performers and scales quite well and to be frank single threaded performance is not really important anymore))) and when in the real world k10 with ddr3 will probably compete nicely.

At the end of the day though this is all moot because the_ghost suggests that anandtech is pretty much owned by Intel so all this actually means nothing.

Hmm, good points over there. There's certainly some educated people on that forum. Thanks for the link! (you do know it's not in marketing's best interest to point to something that legitimately questions these early results, yes?)
