If all these benchmarks are legit (and, at this point there is very little reason to doubt them since multiple people got pretty much the same results), the the only thing we are going to see the next few days is lots of spin control.

JF-AMD will have his work cut out for him, going into full damage control mode.

Nobody wants to only have one player in the mid to high end field, and at this time, it looks like that intel doesn't have anything to worry about, and they will continue to charge a premium for what they offer.

I still think AMD will do OK with the BD, they just need to adjust the price down, and hurry up and tape out pile driver.
