Some benchmarks of Thuban X6 1090T

All I see is... that you need to clean your glasses or pay a visit to a doctor to have your eyesight checked, the only 4GHz thing in the screenshot is an overclocked i5 750

Well...it's not exactly like that, isn't it ?
It can only battle the Bloomfields which are... well, introduced since late 2008.
Who needs an i7 950 or 960 when most of the 920's can do 4.2GHz 24/7 on air cooling ?
There goes the price tag difference when overclocking isn't "forbidden" or taken out of the question.

Which can match/beat the Phenom II x6 in a lot ( if not most ) cases if you simply overclock it to 4GHz or so.
Unless AMD's x6 can clock 250MHz or so higher, granted that we'd overclock both CPUs.

Sandy Bridge will come in 2011 and so will bulldozer and llano. I have been told that dual/quad cores will be out of the gate first. As far as i have heard these will be better than nehalem but not by a huge degree, so a quad llano will murder a dual sandy bridge but not a quad sandy bridge.

Phenom II x6 can also overclock look in the other thread the Phenom II x6 already OCed to 3850Mhz

I'm tired of "if you overlook this or that" when it comes to progress.
I want to see AMD surpassing Intel again, even if it's just 1% faster.

2011 is the year they may do that with bulldozer, i have been told Intel is in process of tweaking the 6/8 core sandy bridge specially for bulldozer.

This is why 6/8 core sandy bridge will come later than the quad one.

You know what I meant. I meant that it's an i7 920 just with a higher default clock frequency, it's not like it's any faster clock per clock or a crazy overclock untouchable by a 2008 i7 920 C1.

Well the multi is different and as such so is the price. If we use your logic then the cheapest processor with a specific arc is same as the high end one.

Also what is the difference between extrema editions of intel and normal ones?

I've got 2 birdies saying two different stories, I wouldn't disregard the possibility of getting released earlier

There is no way the 6/8 cores sandy bridge will come in Q4 2010 or Q1 2011 i have been told that the high end sandy bridge is being tweaked to perform better.

All I'm going to post is:

That was the last time AMD was at least desktop-wise in front and VERY fun to overclock and bench with.

Doesn't beat my old q6600 @ 3.7ghz

Core 2 Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz on Win7 64bit does 4.00 in cinebench 11.5 what are you talking about?
