I'll take his credibility before Anand's any day. Sorry, but anyone that implies that the FX-60 UT2004 benchmark should possibly have been two to three times higher based a Tom's Hardware Guide article which used their own custom UT benchmark is not credible. Or was the FX-60 system running at 1/3 of it's true potential because AMD's defective Cool & Quiet might have kept the CPU locked down as low as 800MHz. And as a nitpick: The FX-60 has 1GHz HT so the lowest C&Q clock should be 1GHz. He comes off as someone desperate to prevent buyers from holding off for Conroe. It's not like it is impossible to duplicate the FX-60 system Intel used. Anyone with a X1900XT Crossfire setup and an FX-60 or overclocked A64 X2 could duplicate the tests conducted in the review to determine whether the FX-60 was actually underperforming or not. I'm sure a couple of review sites and individuals will eventually try verifying Intel's benchmarks claims for the FX-60.
