I do not consider the new "8 core" cpus to be true 8 cores since they share resources with another core. Its more like super hyper-threading. But get poopooed when I bring that up
FYI: I got new love for AMD after playing with a thuban and a 990FX setup.

ohh. that reminds me gotta see if I can pull 16'20 on the Sabretooth. Ud5 is a solid clocker man, bred for clocking, and demands to be frozen, unfortunately gigabyte forgot their roots and priced it like it was a full featured ASUS board. (It has no features, no accessories, but a hell of a power train and cost 2 bills)
Ohh and the UD7 apparently uses the same VRM controller which from google, some chinese dude says is a 10phase controller. As far as I can tell based on intersil spec sheets (no infor on actual chip) is a 6 phases paralell controller, 4 for the 8 cpu phases, 1 for the 2 NB phases and 1 for I forget lol... memory I guess, thats always my failing
