This is good news. If AMD is able to crank up the clocks and actually pushes out good chips for good prices, they are defenitly back into the game. They have a very solid basis now which will see refreshments and better versions of it.
i am just saying this happens every time where amd shows one bench that is not in line with normal performance, and they overstate the bench by gimping something on the intel side like an old version or using the same install for both but testing the amd first. it wont be much longer before the AIBs leak benches and reviewers get samples.
