Intel has recently permitted a performance preview of Sandy Bridge EP, making AMD's silence even more frustrating and this silence is indeed the most annoying thing. They seem to expect people to continue to wait patiently and without complaint though delay after delay. Although, AMD finally did the recent BD overclocking exposition (sans benchmarks), which was long overdue, they continue to remain silent about almost anything regarding Interlagos' performance or eventual availability. I do understand JF-AMD is in an unenviable position between both worlds, but the total lack of anything official on Interlagos makes me wonder how much effort he has put forward toward getting permission to release something or indeed anything. This, along with the quick denial of any and all unofficial information leaks (which may or may not be completely accurate) suggests an enjoyment of being privy to the knowledge he has about Interlagos. Of course, this is simply my interpretation of the situation, which may indeed be wrong.
I hear you and understand your viewpoint.
I used to be just like you but age and time has taught me that things will come in their own time and worrying about what happens when only frustrates US.
Just like every previous platform benchmarks will show up and then people will know exactly what to spend their money on.
All thats required of us is the patience to wait.
Now some reverse logic for you:
I've had a prerelease system here at the house "for some time" now.
It's not assembled and the reason why?
I can't be tempted to leak anything until I see with my own eyes and if I don't build it I can't be tempted to leak anything!
Now how's that for logic for you?
