If this is true, maybe a cash strapped AMD should not be throwing parties for the general public... how many salaries/headcount will it cost???

I thought you said you would have a 4x4 months ago?
who cares! demonstrate - that's the key
where are they? are they in amd's imagination?
let me see they can make 1 or 2 so they can "demonstrate "
it counts when i see them on newegg!

ya i was making fun of their last "demo"
they opened task manager and didnt do anything else
just let it sit there
well at least some good news.....sure beats nothing...i want to see numbers that CRUSH kentsfield...
even in AMD doesn't edge out intel in most of the 2p/4p benchies i bet anything they can still compete and draw less power!!
Investors also voiced concerns about AMD’s strategy to remain relatively quiet before what the firm called an upcoming “tsunami of new products,” while Intel is heavily promoting the capabilities of its future products. AMD president Dirk Meyer and executive vice president Henri Richard explained the firm’s current strategy with the fact that the firm has become “more cautious” with the details it reveals to the public, as Intel “has begun following” AMD. “There are competitive reasons why we have become more quiet,” Meyer said.

You really think AMD faked 16 cores taskmanager? For some reason I doubt you think like this :roll:I can pull up taskmanager and using a good video editing program make it look like it is running 100 loaded using 24 cores...

You are missing the point. AMD showed K10 running task manager and called that a DEMO. That's ridiculous and stupid and showing a running app on a revised CPU is not a big dea. Intel showed their first silicon running multiple OSes. That's a big deal and happens rarely.Showing taskmanager on some OS is as impressive as just booting an OS as Intel did in first show. But for some reason former is laughable to some, and later is exciting and thrilling Bias IMO, but whatever.
Yes, and if we consider the time passed after it announcement it seems that Barcelona(K10) will not appear this year.Back on topic, Barce. will be shown more and more as time is closing till launch.
When is "soon"?First behind the doors, now in semi-public gatherings, soon cpu's will "leak" here and there.
IMO AMD are secretive about K10 because they need time to improve it. I really don't believe that K10 will counter Penryn. IMO no chances to be even close to Penryn's performance. And my opinion is based on K10 architecture details and speculated frequencies. In the best scenario for K10, according to AMD estimated performance, at 2.6GHz K10 will be fast as 3GHz Clovertown/Kentsfield, in average.The reason why AMD is so secretive about it is the lack of Barce definite advantage IMO, especially againts Penryn.
The core tweaking is already done, they are tweaking their process right now and it seems that they can't pull a rabbit out of their ass. 2.6GHz doesn't sounds impressive to me.They are feaverishly trying to fine tune and tweak the core to be competetive at the launch time and at least for some time after it.
I can pull up a task manager that shows my X6800 using 100% load. Exactly what does that show me except that I can load all the Cores at 100%?
