now this is what i am talking about, fantastic set of test benches (as always)

and it does seem as though this 'edges' ahead the 940, as an upgrade option for current AM2+ motherboards, this maybe is the the nice stepping stone needed for the transition to DDR3.

now all we need is a price on the retail part

please, please, AMD dont blow it with the pricing on this one, if this is priced to to the hilt, then it may just go the way of the 9600's, pricing along with possible DDR3 issues.

i pray none of this happens, and the chip is a bargain
