AMD Barcelona Review

[Abe]

just release the cpu and some benchies because im fed up with waiting to see if their quadcore is better

The problem is that I think for single CPU Quads, the Intel will be faster initially. The AMD will only start to show it's salt when they release faster versions and if you start to use multiple CPU configurations.

On the plus side, the Barcelona CPUs offer damn good value for money. Their price/performance/watt equation is excellent. Phenom will definitely be my next CPU, don't even have to change MB.
