OMFG.
2.15GHZ cpu pumps out a 3mark2001 score of 24,182! It took a P4 3.2@4GHZ overclock to hit that score last time I checked.
edit: 22,458 3dmarks on a P4 3.06@4232MHZ using Radeon 9700Pro

Unfortunately the world doesn't revolve around gaming....The scores of multimedia and rendering is what will impress me and it better be more then 5-10% of a 3.2c p4 since the 3.4ghz prescott will come to the table with many enhancements and can be 10% above a 3.2c...
No one is going to argue an amd flat out mhz to mhz performs better with its more instruction per clock cycle...The key will be ramping up of the speed and getting a windows 64bit OS to the market ASAP!!!!
Does anyone know if the a64 can be oc'd any??? If so how much.....

Woot! (now need to decide who to give P4 2.6C@3.25GHZ board/cpu too)
i'll take it
i wish this guy puts up some multimedia benchies but the 3dmark is a good start and shows a lot of potential
True....However I hate synthetic benchmarks on cross-platforms...Maybe on the same system I am tweaking but I just don't think the percentage increases ever seem to pan out in the real world...take a look at anandtechs opteron 3200+ they simulated to be an A64. The increases on average were 10% above the best p4 had to offer. Imagine a bit of tweaking an optimization can take that a bit more, but not like 3dmark is showing.
here is some....
We know it is manufactured using the .09micron process and in the beginning will be 478 socket and then change...I believe revised socket will be what you talk about and I have seen referenced as a T socket ot slot.
KEY FEATURES
The Prescott Processor is the code name for a new generation of IA-32 processors. The technology incorporates an enhanced Intel® NetBurst? microarchitecture. Other key features of the Prescott Processor include:
Support for Hyper-Threading Technology
Prescott New Instructions (PNI) support (13 of them)
Deeper pipelining to enable higher frequency
A High-speed System Bus
The Prescott Processor improves on the Pentium® 4 processor's hyper-pipelined technology to achieve even higher clock rates than previous generations of Pentium 4 processors. At the same time, the new processor has larger first-level and second-level caches, more store buffers, writecombining buffers.
PNI support does not require new OS support for saving and restoring the new state during a context switch, beyond that provided for Streaming SIMD Extensions. The PNI set is fully compatible with all software written for Intel® architecture microprocessors
Edit:
.09micron process
13 new instuction sets to enhance performance
1mb of l2 CACHE
I belive a doubling of the L1 cache
Hyperthreaded is belived to have been a bit more optimized or reworked to be more optimized...
windows xp 64bit for amd 64 is a reality.

Thanks Duvie I felt like a n00b for asking that, so I did go Google some Prescott info. I forsee a Prescott in your future, since some of the Prescott New Instructions are aimed at media encoding and it doesn't take long for that stuff to get utilized.
What I'm taking away from the thread at T-break is that the single-channel Athlon 64 is evidently no slouch, single-channel or not. And they scooted it right up to 2400MHz after backing the RAM down to make some headroom. These are exciting times we live in...

The processor in that IS overclocked. Didn't you see the 215 mhz "FSB"? Overclocking will be possible by adjusting settings just like you do with the FSB now... only... there is no FSB, and the CPU needs an external frequency to multiply to get the core frequency... so it uses the Hyper Transport bus, which is 200 Mhz at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised to see 250 Mhz Hyper Transport buses from AMD eventually.
BTW... I got that info from AnandTech's own review of the A64
