Yea its not what we expected and yea im dissapointed, but to me its still better than phenom1, at least these offer some sort of comparison to sandy.......somewhat, at least its some thing. and i really hope this is just stuff that can be fixed rather easily and quickly to see some kind of leap with the Q1 revamp and the 8170. but hell im an optimist
and hell maybe its time for a brand new socket,........oh who am i kidding they really require a new socket. i like the backwards compatibility and all but we cant keep living in the past. to me the FM2 socket will probably be to little to late by the time its implemented. i think they should abandon the pin on chip and go to an lga socket, maybe scale down a G34 socket hint hint nudge nudge
