that said amd got much quieter after the barcelona fiasco, remember that they showed off 3ghz chips a long time before launch; kept on talking how it's going to destroy C2Q???

i prefer them to be quiet until they release BD instead of talking about huge performance and clocks and disappointing at launch...
Did AMD ever say that Phenom would be able to beat C2Q? We have people today who thinks AMD said BD would beat i7 just because fake slides stated that AMD said so. I'm sure these people will call AMD liars if BD don't beat i7.
