I think we should all wait until AMD either release official preview scores on benchmarks we all know and trust, or just wait for the real reviews.
One thing is already certain and that is I think a lot of AMD fans need to manage their expectations and be more realistic. AMD is not a charity and will not price a SKT-2011 killer CPU at ~2600K (or less) prices. That is just not going to happen.
The days of NetBurst (which to be fair, was not bad for Video encoding and a few business applications), are well and truly over.
BD is going to be a very good and highly successful productline for AMD , but it is not the GodsmackEpicWTFBBQEPICWIN of CPU's most are making it out to be.
