Deneb just around the corner?

Actually I think we are seeing many Intel fans getting nervous.

Even if true, which I highly doubt, it has absolutely nothing to do with Intel itself running scared, which is the context of the discussion, not the fans running scared.

I dunno. Maybe we should ask Dave (Movieman) if he's running scared of AMD with his brand new i7 hardware?

OTOH: I am tired of the "Q6600 is better than the best AMD has to offer" crowd posting their tripe. That hasn't been true for months but they still post it in a sad attempt to make their opinion "more true" than reality. It would be nice to see the "best" Yorkfields fall short. And guess what? It could happen. If they didn't have a "secret" we probably would have seen leeks. We haven't. That means SOMETHING is going to happen soon. Or not. The only thing we can really say NOW is that we don't know yet.

It's better when both chips are at their max average overclock, so I think there are two sides to that argument: At stock vs. overclocked. I don't think it has to be anymore complicated than that, at least in my opinion.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.....
What have I done to you that makes you want to launch into me for making an observation?

I thought it was appropriate for the situation. Saying that you think Intel is running scared of an unreleased chip, all while their own newest chips are dominating benchmarks, is quite the assumption, is it not?
