c’mone Browncoat, do you honestly think that Intel isn’t behind this!?
It’s clear as a day that sole purpose of this “review” is to make anyone considering buying AMD’s 4-way Barcelona, or making plan for 4-way Shanghai, to rethink idea once more, and hopefully go in idle ‘till Nehalem based Xeon is out!

Intel purposely went with Anand and not some specialized server oriented site ‘cos of the chance to make bigger impact… these Intel marketing guys do know really well what and how they are doing what they are payed for!

On the other side this doesn’t do harm to Intel’s current lineup on desktop market, ‘cos desktop market will receive these CPU’s later, much later…
