Although I imagine I'll wait a bit for prices to fall before I get one, these are going to be awesome :cool:

Why dont advertise with stuff like that??? Hit a few of those main topics like, power, bandwidth, HTT, etc....It would sell itsalf to anyone who can comprehend and process logic...

lol I think they were being extremly nice to intel here:

Total Designed Power (TDP) x2= 110W D = 130W

Every site I've seen shows D's using ~100 more watts under load.

Their marketing ppl are idiots...they basically copied INtel propaganda straight from Intel's website and product launch data.....

I read somewhere that AMD rates its power consumption based on maximum numbers, whereas Intel measured them based on "average use".

Yep I heard the same thing...In real world terms it is called "spinning" the data...confuse the consumers by not misleading but recharacterization of the numbers.....This has been a known scam of INtel even dating back to my beloved Northwoods...
