I am sick of reading about people mocking other people. This topic had nothing to do with Intel vs. AMD, it's about Woodcrest. We dont all come here to read the completely idiotic banter that has been going around. I've got nothing against you, mjp1618, or BaronMatrix, or anyone else; but can we please all act as if we at least know what professionalism is? If I want to hear namecalling I can go to any grade-school playground. Please just stop it all!!!
wade_44,
I've read that the NDA ended on June 4, 26, or 30 so I'm not exactly sure when the NDA expired. I believe the chips began selling June 26-27 and can be purchased today from several places. I too am wondering where the benchmarks are. I'd really like to see some, especially since the chips are available and we'd all like to know which chip works best. Usually every review site has a slew of benchmarks for the day the NDA ends and every forum is full of people commenting on the benchmarks. There have been a few "preview" benchmarks made, but since they are preview benchmarks I'm not sure if the chips and motherboards were shipping revisions or if the reviews were accurate. I assume they are, but it'd be nice to see a few articles with comparable benchmarks.
