1) The poster was a person who just registered on overclockers.net to post specifically one screenshot without any verification.
2) The weird artifacts up there. Would not have been suspicious if it didn't make a clean cut right at the numbers. It should expand a bit before the numbers (a bit to the left) at least. We've had two CPU-Z screenshots showing that now.
3) Weirdest thing since UFO: WoW on a Phenom test system?
4) What kind of "stock cooler" can sustain 53C maximum load... for a quad-core processor running at 4GHz... on almost 1.5v vCore?
1. If it was a LEAK then it would be an anonymous post. That would actually SUPPORTS that it might be real if there is an NDA. But it could also indicate false. So NO JOY.
2. The numbers in the CACHE column for the "Level 2" row also cut off at about exactly the same place on the "4". Since that column has the biggest number the "4" in that column is LEFT of all other numbers. In the column we are looknig at the first number isn't really bigger or smaller than the other columns except for the one on the bottom. The "2" is cuttoff at the same place... it could go either way. So NO JOY.
3. When you load the ATI 8.7 Catalyst it now loads a WoW "Trial" icon. (I personally hate that.) So NO JOY. Unless you like WoW.
4. I don't think these chips get as hot as people have been claiming. But I wouldn't depend on a stock cooler.
MY OPINION: With the new sb750 getting 3.5Ghz@1.475V on the 9950 at ANAND's site... I was expecting to see 3.8Ghz to 4.0Ghz. Maybe even on 65nm chips. Definitely on 45nm. So I am inclined to believe this screenshot.
