Some benchmarks of Thuban X6 1090T

And the point is ? AMD needs a 2 cores and 200MHz advantage to match the 1 1/2 year old i7 tech 960 ?
No matter how I try to have a look at it, I can't see any "miracles" or progress from AMD.
Intel's closing in on faster clock-per-clock processors than Gulftown and going to 8 and 10 cores ( 16 & 20 threads ) in Nov/Dec or Jan-March 2011.
AMD's at 12 Cores / 12 threads, but unless their performance clock per clock and on a core to core basis is the same with these, those will barely compete with the 8c/16t Intel CPU.

They need to work harder.

Nice performance and good prices are always nice, but they need to step up the game before they get down below ( performance-wise ).

I'm all in for performance.
Can we have an Opteron 146 and DFI LP nF4 SLI-DR de-javu anytime soon AMD please ?
