Back on topic...

I'm loving these threads, becasue this is brand new technology, nobody but people under NDA know anything about how it works, but some of these sites are already proclaiming performance before the CPU is even released, or before there are even programs to benchmark it with.

It's hilarious. Most of it stems from places like the Inq, but I've seen some of these proclamations from Anandtech and other pretty good sites, and that is what is shocking.

It's like the "Memory Voltage Issue" that has already been stated is a nonissue, and that people should Ignore such gossip because those articles were completely bogus.

We've had others that stated the CPU would not OC! Anybody who writes stuff like that should be deported from the OC'ing world forever never to return!

We've had others that stated the ref clock wouldn't go higher than a certain level. Oh boy! We already have seen the answer to that.

It's just bunk to fill a void of unknowns, and I'm glad I ignored it so it wouldn't clutter my mind when this thing actually gets released.
