Re: Surely you jest. Smithfield is already going to get trashed in reviews. It's a 3.2GHz 1MB L2 part! It'll lose to Sempron in games, for crying out loud. I'd prefer to see a shutout with zero wins for Smithfield. There are several popular benchmarks (Windows Media Encoder, DivX, PCMark, a few of the Sysmark 2004 subtests, and a handful of others) which will probably be wins for 3.2GHz Smithfield/Smithfield EE over FX-55. Good thing those Sempron 3300+ CPUs are on the way. The $120 3100+ isn't up for the job of beating a $500+ 3.2GHz Smithfield in most gaming benchmarks. :) Anyhow, as I said to Joe, I don't trust this chart... I don't either. I was just thinking out loud as to what the implications would be if it were credible.
