Pete, small sample, what 5 or 6 benchmarkers heard from? I hope Intel has many times that number of setups for DVT on a new product. Why didn't they see it? It is perplexing, I have to admit. You do know that there are people that make a living out of trying to make successful companies, like Intel, Cisco and Microsoft look bad. With the underdogs, like AMD, it's pretty much the opposite.
OTOH, do you remember the benchmark for the K7, last May or so, with the hilarious photos of the voltage regulators, and the K7 ran about as fast as a Celeron Covington, or something? That was completely bogus as it turned out.
We'll see.
