Either way .... as long as US that choose to use/support amd cpu's keep a realistic mindset on them we shouldnt be disapointed by them .... in fact i think this is just the starting point of where we start seeing things get better & hopefully the next generation cpu they are designing will evolve from this design/liano's into a stronger overall solution for consumers period.

Take this 1 with a grain of salt .. but they have rumored a 10 cored FX chip as well based on vishera for this round of cpu's ....

Well I wish them luck, but I sure as heck won't be pre-ordering one until I see the benchmarks on them. If they really want to do themselves a favour, they can start with a little truth in advertising by changing what they're calling a core.

At the very least we can hope that this round of procs will be able to ourperform the PHII line without requiring massive amounts of power.
