That's my take also. I think the author is pissed because open source systems don't get the respect from cpu manufacturers and/or the mobo manufacturers (i.e. bios updates) that are garnered from the big operating system companies (MS) and big application developers.
Also, I think as a result AMD probably tries harder which is why the TLB bug was such a BIG disappointment. My take is that the server business would not tolerate cpu errata that was not addressed by operating systems or mobo manufactures. (One wonders how much "accommodation" AMD gets in this area.) If AMD produced high fault cpus, then Sys Admins would drop AMD in a heartbeat and kill the AMD business model.

Hello! This is my first post in this forums. I`m from Argentina.
I have reading almost all the threads about deneb in xtremesystems and I donŽt know if someone had already said something about the great hint that AMD has thrown on us with the model numbers. If you you compare this numbers with the model used for Agena you can say that when they launched it they already knew that the fastest part would be the 9950. So I think is safe to say that AMD could and probably would make a 3.4 ghz model. Maybe the FX name is reserved for something faster too. I know that there is some info about Deneb running at more than 4Ghz on air, but the models number is a good thing to look at right know. I can not help but think that AMD is doing the same move that did with ATI and the HD48xx series. What do you think about this?
welcome to xtremesystems. i think amd is reserving the fx for their high end deneb chips. they are most likely not gonna put an fx in the launch and i bet after the launch stabilizes a little and if the company gets into a better financial situation then they will make some high end fx chips to see if they can take the performance crown from intel. right now amd seems to be focusing on everything but the high end.
