This is interesting. B2 Steppings Mass production August, and no leaks from pre-production B2 steppings out yet, with a week (!) to go?
Remember that anandtech stated B0/B1 steppings were performing poorly (
Link) and that a B2 revision would be needed to meet GHz and performance goals...So why hasnt the net seen a revision performance leak yet?
I'm curious, but cautious and suspicious. I'm not hoping for miracles, but I would really like another option to consider when building a high-end rig...
