AMD is being smart and hiding K10??????
This is the K10 Uarch disected by Anandtech. 3 months ago. There are no secrets.

1) If AMD was trying to keep K10 secret, they would never have revealed the Uarch publically. With the information contained in the above link, Intel could easily develope a simulation to determine K10s precise performance. As of March 1. It is possible AMD deliberately lied to mislead Intel, but if they did that, they would PO Anandtech. Not something I think they really want to do.
2) While there have been no actual, true benchmarks released for K10, there has been ample 'performance' level blathering from AMDs mouthpieces.
3) It is possible that AMD has drastically altered the K10 Uarch since it was revealed to Anandtech, but highly, highly unlikely, as the time table to redesign a Urach and get it to production silicon would have them releasing K10 in 2008.
4) Intel already has its K10 competitor, Penryn, well along into developement.
5) Hiding K10 with Penryn so far along into developement will have little, if any impact on Penryn....its too late for Intel to diddle with Penryns Uarch, just as its far too late to diddle with K10 and make a Q3 release.
K10 will live or die by its own hand. Hiding anything positive about it at this point is completely and totally moot...it has no positive impact IRT Intel. The impact it has had is to shake a fair portion of the communities faith in AMD. With every passing day, more tech sites publish "WTF" articles regarding K10.
Unless they lied about the design, at this point AMD gains nothing by hiding K10 benchmarks. Unless its not performing up to claims.
