@BeepBeep at least one of the tests was on a 990FX final bios mainboard.And no, i dont think AMD would launch a chip in that state.
@SEA im not trying to tell anything, as this thread title says, im trying to understand why B0 performs as it is.Nothing more.And no, JF hasnt made it any clearer,on the contrary.
@Lowrun i did leave it alone, just to be graciously attacked by JF of not being able to comprehend simple things.So i answered exactly what i mean.
@crazydiamond ,very informative and on topic.

Rintamarotta seems to think thare was a bug in this ES ,and he probably had one.
I too expect final chips to be bug free and much higher clocked!

I wont post in this thread as it seems no one is still on topic and it lost its purpose in this regard.So be happy people!
As an addendum i would like to point out that people read in TOO MUCH in what ME and JF was saying.
I didnt think it has anything to do with the chips were going to get in retail.
And JF didnt say anything about actual chips performance or explained why it performed like it was.He only listed the things that could go (theoretically) wrong.And informed that most ES`s are lower clocked due to yields.
