    So tell me do you know the performance increase the patch will give you on win7 vs an unpatched version?

    And pls no NDA BS since a percentage from a unknown number is still unknown.

    If those results are real and the tested unit is a final one with latest BIOS, MB and drivers... then the results are pretty dissapointing.
    BD runs very hot, it's much slower than a 2600K and its mono-core performance is very poor ( 20s in SuperPI? omg... worse than a Core2! )
    In fact, I have doubts even comparing it with a Phenom II X6 ... because it will perform more or less than that but it will be much more expensive.

    Please don't tell me you're really citing Superpi as an end-all-be-all of single core performance testing, especially as a direct comparison between Intel and AMD CPUs...

    No, it's a nice way to not to breach the NDA what we've signed.

    If these results are true, we are at the mercy of Intel’s prices for years to come
