From what I am seeing on every front, there is no reason to not flock straight to this CPU. It is a boost in everything. The only place it showed low was against a 3.2 QX and that would be erased by a simple OC to 3.2. At 2.93 in HL it still outperforms it. The gains with OC'ing this thing have already been shown. It blows away OC'd QX's in SPi at stock clocks.
I would love to see this thing actually running 3DMark. Even a video of that would be awesome to see. Without the saturated FSB and mem restrictions I bet it's as smooth as silk. I'd love to see Firefly Forest and watch that firefly fly around at warp speeds!It's gotta be a beautiful sight.
These benches above are showing gains in all areas. This is a "do it all" CPU. It can game with the best of them. It can do video encoding. It obviously excels in normal applications. It is a benchmarker's dream. The boards for this CPU are totally amazing from what I have seen from Asus. They literally have built a purpose built factory modified hotrod benching board in the Asus Rampage II Extreme. They are showing Special Memory, and many Manufacturers and people involved with them have posted about memory. We've seen amazing OC's on air. On water these things have to be amazing.
People that actually have hands on have stated they are tweaking them and are gonna deliver a really nice chip. Intel, board manufacturers, and mem manufacturers have worked closely together to really bring out a uber performance package. I can't wait until the day this thing is released. I hope we get it real soon. I am ready to buy this thing right now, and have been for a long time. I hope the wait is over soon. The "Total Package" is there! Bring it on Intel!
