Everyone (general preemptive statement) - Lets assume the processors and GPU's we all get are exceptional for our use, no need to degrade any bencher for having better access than others if they have worked hard to attain such a part, this goes for all the top guys seeded parts by their sponsors, this makes sponsors unhappy as well as casts bad light on those with such parts. I would hate to have people bag on the top guys for being supplied cherry parts.
Unfortunatley that is not what I mean, I am sorry if it was interpreted as degrading the guys that worked really hard there. All top benchers use cherry picked hardware, it is very hard to be the first without the best hardware, and that takes no glory away from that guys that are doing it. On the contrary, testing to find the best is hard work and it takes lots of time and determination. There si no noubt in my mind regarding the tremendous work the guys put into this event, and they fully deserve our respect and appreciation for that.

What I was trying to point out is that I am unhappy that a truly good Phenom II chip takes lots of pre-testing to find and there are chips out there that bearly come close to 6G. I was expecting more from AMD then just a great fabrication process, and no cold-bug does not help at all if your chip does not scale with voltage how it should (and that is the case of many of these chips). Also performance is far from what we have expected. So...my pun was intended for AMD, not for the guys that worked hard and got really good results.
