Anybody think AMD may be sandbagging with the AM2 parts that are being reviewed in all these preliminary reviews? I think it's unlikely, but the flip side is, why has Anand published multiple preview evaluations of AM2 machines. If the performance isn't there, there's no reason for AMD to let the cat out of the bag. I have this feeling that the production rev parts are going to have better memory performance than these previews are showing.

[edit]
Yes, I contradicted myself. Is it unlikely they're sandbagging or do I think the performance will be better? Obviously I can't decide, but I hadn't yet read the comments about Anand getting the parts from a partner, which clears up some things. I guess no on the sandbagging, but performance could still improve noticably.
