Where are the Shanghai reviews?

[Martimus]

I was looking through all the i7 performance reviews, and noticed an article that stated the new Shanghai processors weren't only shipped, they are actually already available for purchase (Buy.com link to Opteron 8384, PC Connection link for same processor). Since they are available, why aren't there any performance reviews of the chips? Or if there is, can someone please link one for me? (I would appreciate it at least)

Both are 3rd party 'sellers' who have none in stock = not available.

You are right. I noticed that after I posted. Yet still, my question remains: why aren't there any reviews? Or more to the point, when is the NDA up? I think I read November 16th, but I believe that was Tongue in Cheek since the Intel NDA date was believed to be November 17th at the time.

complete conjecture on my part, but I would guess if the results were astonishing or perhaps even competitive with intel parts we'd know about it

someone, somewhere has a shanghai running, and if it was exciting we'd probably know about it already

here's hoping I'm wrong and AMD can once again compete with, or exceed Intel's performance, competition is good for all of us
