But AMDs own benchmarks they showed behind closed doors hinted something wrong, they made GPU limited gaming benchmarks and in handpicked benchmarks they were only 20% faster than a unnamed i5 quad core, with an octa core! If even AMDs own benchmarks show lousy performance then it can’t be something that will be fixed until release, they wouldn’t bench on old defective chips from this spring. They would bench on the new release chips. They wouldn’t use defective BIOSes so that’s ruled out too.
