I still have my Gallatin, she was truly awesome in her day. I will keep it forever.
That's a rare CPU. Its one of the first desktop CPU that has L3 cache.
~95% of what you see out there in launch dates and benchmarks are fakes, so if you wave off everything, you are right 95% of the time.
I do not dismiss all information plainly, just because someone else says they are all fake. Of course I scrutinized all information available, and have dismissed lots of them (the usual phethora of fakes, fanmade material, unconfirmed/idle rumors, etc), except for some of them (small percentage of which looks valid IMHO). As the saying goes "looking for patterns in the chaos".
My comment was that if we released benchmarks, I would *probably* have heard about it, but that is not 100% the case.
I am sure that we did a demo, but demos and benchmarks are 2 different things. In a demo you show something, maybe my product against your product, but I control both ends. In a benchmark, I run mine, you run yours and we both submit.
If we ran such a demo (I wasn't there), I would assume that the results would be representative because our lawyers are pretty good about staying on top of those things. But the fact that I didn't hear about it, nor have I seen much of it on the web except one place leads me to believe the claim that we released benchmarks is a bit far flung.
Aren't you supposed to be in server arena, and those demos are for desktop and laptops (thus someone else in charge?). Yes, the benchmark can be far flung as it tells little (with only two points of reference, but its easy to extrapolate with others available although not necessarily the most accurate nonetheless a rough guesstimate). And here all we do is to speculate and predict based on what's available
due to lack of any information from AMD. That's what's many discussions are all about (otherwise nothing to talk about). :hmm:
Oh, and I would take everything I say with a grain of salt, just as you should everyone else on the internet. It is just smart never to have 100% blind faith in EVERYONE. The only difference with me is that I am real clear about where I work and what my beliefs are. There are others who have pretty strict agendas but go out of their way to hide it. I am who I am.
One point is correct, that not to trust everything 100% you see on the internet (not you, and not even me). On the internet, anyone can be "someone" (this is a fact). Anyone with keen sense of logical thinking and analytical mind can pick out what/who to believe and what/who to dismiss. Also I don't look at the world with a pair of "rose colored glasses", so to speak.
So, can you comment on the timeframe roughly (in weeks granularity) of when AMD FX will be finally released (or available/shipped)? I know, you are not supposed to give out dates and can only announce "the launch date on the launch date" itself.
