Hmmm, I just got back from their website and that is good news. I have always thought that AMD was an excellent processor but it is usually more focused on by gamers. There was alot of information missing about how it performed will multithreading. I mean, I have watched my performance level go through up to 35% at the highest while multi-threading and alot of that has to do with your operation system. Which OS were they running? I am suspecting WinNT, but Linux, Beos, and Unix handles threads better than NT. With Irix you can get up to 98% performance increase. That is what I have read. Beos I hear has very good threads. Linux of course, GREAT OS with good threads but I have never gotten anything above 50%. I wish they had more information on the infrastructure of the mainboard and performance notes. It was all too vague. Still a step in the right direction for AMD however.
