um i mean it was a good article, but best ever? i wouldnt go that far lol.

frankly im wondering where thg is on getting a 90nm chip from amd. isnt this site suppose to be on the cutting edge of pc hardware, surely its not confined to intel-only advancements? lol perhaps they are wiating for an nforce 4 release to do a review on it as well :P

I have to disagree strongly on this article. I have many unanswered questions about the test hardware. I have also been waiting many months for the next series of 1066 MHz motherboards, and Intel 925XE chipsets, and I still expect to wait a while still...

From what I understand, and would like to note that it wasn't made very clear in the article, this test setup is performed on a gigabyte 925X motherboard overclocked from 800 MHz to 1066 MHz FSB, on an Intel CPU not supporting 266 MHz bus, not using DDR2-667 (is that RAM overclocked from 266 to 333?), without SSE3, without EM64T and without any (EDB) execute disable bit or similar technology?

Is the micron fab process still 0.13 or 0.09 for the next Intel CPU's? I forget this detail, however I will take these results with a substantial sized grain of salt, and wait for time to tell the true results..

That is more or less what I got from it.

It's not by far the best article from THG's, as far as I'm concerned. I'm waiting on further info on i925XE. Plus, support for DDR2-667 (or possibly even DDR2-800 for the not so distant future) cannot be dismissed; it'll probably bring some performance if compared to previous DDR2 incarnations.
