Results will be on weekend.He doesnt say for now what rev samples he has tho.

Oh, and he has some venom about flanker and xs there but i didnt understand from translator what he meant ;-)
Ok this sounds really weird...why would AMD design a brand new cpu which doesn't perform much better than they have now. I really don't see that happening...
