Re: "You must have overlooked amd.com and amd.com; Yes I did. Thanks for posting the link. Now the fun starts. First off don't miss the fact that AMD clearly admits the motherboard isn't available, furthermore they refuse to say how much main or cache memory was used on the Athlon. In addition, the Xeon scores posted are not the best ones reported on the official SPEC website. They are 3.3% below the actual best scores. So, the Athlon numbers are in fact reported for the first time as you point out, but they are from an what AMD admits is an unavailable motherboard, and they are compared against an Intel system that is not the best in it's class. Not honest reporting in my view. When honest benchmarks are posted from available MIA-thlon systems then we can compare. Re: ""I can't find any actual numbers or actual specific system configurations including memory size: The link above gives exact configuration. " It clearly states: "This motherboard not commercially available". ALL BENCHMARKS ARE FROM MOTHERBOARDS AMD ADMITS ARE NOT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE!! EP MIA-thlon. Promised in June... Promised in August... Still nowhere to be found.....
