1- These guys have the crappiest Gulftowns known to man
2- My chip is ungodly efficient
3- Someone has started a propaganda campaign against Gulftown Performance
3a- Said campaign is targeted at lowering initial price points of Gulftown during release.

i would agree with 3- ...hahahahah

Wish I had a 5ghz cpu at the time I ran this then.... ;)

dude imagine 4 threads flying @ 6.5ghz vs 12threads @ 6ghz ....sure its number crunching..but latency(lack of) would push the scores abit :D ..i'm not sure but if tweaked right i'm looking at 27k perhaps? i have a tek9666 pot too....too bad its skinny. i'm thinking of a way of putting a cpu pot on the gpu..i already ordered a pcie extender :D

@11k cpu score, the chip is severely gpu bottlenecked without increasing gpu clocks, rofl ;)

Kal you got one ???

I posted a bunch of snippet screenies thru this thread. Nothing serious, just horseplay on the proc. I set her aside for launch day since nothing would be submitted to the bot till retail day.

when will the nda on this cpu end? is it tonight?

imho, if it can bought retail anyhere on the planet the NDA is lifted.

Yes, its tonight but it looks like some e-tailers have jumped the gun so let them submissions loose ;)

I just saw the value of my chips fall off the cliffside. Once again, I've waited too long to sell :shock:

ZipZoomFly had it for $1,069 or so but took it down. Read somewhere that with a 140W TDP there wouldn't be much overclocking headroom? :confused4: I guess.
