I would think the 'source' mistook 1095T for 1090T, or AMD changed it's mind in the meantime (I mean, pehaps 3.7 GHz were too much of a hassle already).


Some AMD fanboys, maybe. Just like some Intel fanboys, about the IMC, then x64 (originally named AMD64)... Anyway, I, for one, as an AMD user since a decade, never thought the Intel Turbo Boost was a bad idea. Indeed, that - for your information - the Barcelona/Agena already has the ability to clock the cores differently, and there was a little application (AMD Overdrive) with which one could set the clocks as liked. There is perhaps even a utility that can do it automatically. It's just not done in HW, as with the new CPU's.
AMD did not invent both of those technologies either, though. AMD was the first to bring those technologies to the desktop, however.

Having said that, I like where AMD is going with their market/price targeting. It should be reflected in their market share in the next 12 months.
