Nasty, there is no comparison to systems and specs are not listed. Not one person has had a chance to run the benchmarks themself as the systems were provided by Intel itself. Intel is nothing more but a marketing machine and I see all of this as BS.
Anywebsite that I see publish such BS I put them as a suspicous paid site. Another words they were paid to publish any article. Until Intel allows unbias sites to be able to test their system with a truelly configured AMD system nothing should be published. I am not saying that their newer chip is not going to better then the P4 but saying it creamates the FX line is nothing but marketing hype. Second Intel needs to get the product out to the market before they talk BS. AMD can simply publish their new chips (which they will but waiting on Intel) and platform and still that won't mean squat until it's out on the market. I can not understand why anyone would jump to conclusions on products that are not shipping.
The original benched were done a few months ago and people were so excited of these chips. This is all hype and these companies do this to try to stop their stocks from dropping. What if the system does not perform as Intel claims or when they release their chip and AMD releases it's newer platform/chip and blows it away.
Simply put, dont believe the hype!!!

I'm not sure such a site exists today. If it does, it's not tomshardware.com, hardocp.com, or anandtech.com.

That was pretty much my point but many sites do have some people in their forums. I don't judge until I test it out myself in one of the shops. I have been requesting test units from Intel and get nothing.
Most websites out there today are worst then magazines and became commercialized. I find it disgusting that they hyoe things up without running the tests themselves.

There is a guy who writes up a article when he knows nothing and works completely on speculation. What a F'ing flea. How is it these people feel they have a right to write about something they know nothing about. After reading what he posted I was like where is the information? Read the comments to that.
