I havent read that article but how come I think it will position the FX-60 as the clear and indisputable owner 4 lyphe and claim that the EE is only worth 15 bucks?

TechReport proves a lot of biasness. AT review, 3dsmax7.

or xbit

Now what we care more is about final rendering. Xbit made a clear point. Intel is better.
True or not some of those tests are carefully selected.
I think that i'd rather have more trust in IDF benchmarks than in those biased AMD robots.

And the Thunder Rolls...or in this case, the Fanboy Spouts...o_O

I actually found this specific Tech Report article to be more restrained in terms of their Intel criticism then some of their other ones. They did take time to give a nod to the power consumption being finally competitive with the FX60 and to the 965EE's overclocking potential which is what people buying that processor would want anyways.

They're probably covering their backs in case Conroe turns out to perform as advertised.

Certainly this statement isn't AMD biased:
Given what Intel's 65nm fab process has been able to do for the Extreme Edition 965, AMD may have one heck of a fight on its hands if the upcoming Core microarchitecture is anywhere near reasonably competent.
Seems Intel only needs to be "reasonably competent" now to be competitive.
