Re: "Patience, my friend. The longer it takes for the benchmarks to come out, the longer you can say Intel still has the fastest X86 processor. But when some DO come out, I have a feeling everyone will be impressed, even Intelabees. Anyways, nothing will become public by AMD until the chip is officially released and until then our only source of info will come from people like Tom, Anand and various other sites. Of course, when those people talk about the chip you will say it is biased, or that you haven't SEEN the processor so it is still a foil, or the benchmarks were tainted or other BS..."
Well, assuming that what you say is correct, I am hearing that there will be no benchmarks until Q2-Q3' 99. If that is the case then I can tell you that you will be VERY VERY surprised at what Intel's benchmarks are then also. You guys can live on hype only for so long. Meanwhile Intel keeps shipping highend processors that are within 2% of the fastest Alpha on the market. Those aren't just foils, they aren't just demos, they DO produce benchmarks, they DO go into systems and they DO generate lots and lots of revenue. They will get lots faster and I don't mean foils.
