A bunch of willamete news on Jc's

jc-news.com

Interesting how bad the benchmarks are (an 800 mhz sampling?) I'd say this is serious sandbagging designed so that we can't figure out how much headroom the willamete really has. (if I recall AMD did the same thing with the initial Athlon benchmarks)

The memory system is all that you can really get a good feel for and it looks awesome. If the rest of the scores don't improve dramatically the chip will be a flop, but I have no doubt that the real benchmarks will be up considerably later.
