"There must be at least a couple dozen different benchmarks tested by now."

How many aren't STREAM-like or SSE heavy? Seen any typical server-like benchmarks? Seen any games with AI or anything unscripted? Or encoding/decoding type of benchmarks? Something that has to hit memory a lot? You, know, real world type of stuff?

"The fact that AMD has released no benchmarks of revision F processors must make you especially suspicious of AMD performance then."

You'd have a point if such was any different from AMD's past behavior or AMD was trying to Osbourne the market. But neither of those is true.

Why do you say that? Does anyone expect any radical changes in how rev. F behaves? I wouldn't expect that at all.

Now Conroe/Merom is supposed to be a whole new microarchitecture, so of course no one knows yet what the specifics are, so questions will remain until all is revealed.
