Guys don't be so surprised if these benchies are close to Phenom's performance. What i don't get is how a lot of people on this forum where quick to jump and say how much potential of truth theInq's benchmarks could have, but when it comes to showing poor performance there is a lot of opposite talk.
These results are a lot more solid than that of theinquirer and yet still its called false. I don't believe them myself as the performance is too low for any company to call that product competitive on todays market. But really there is lots of doudt on AMD just now and for good reason. If you had a killer product, it would be advertised like no tomorrow, despite production availability etc, as it would keep share holders happy. So for sure there is somthing wrong with this processor release, it might not be performance problems but i get the feeling this will have been a rushed product, much like ATI's latest R600.
