There's still no official release date for AMD's Thuban chips, but that hasn't stopped early benchmarks from making their way online.

The benchmarks were done under a 32 bit OS:

Aye - benches all on 32bit OS

Its the price that will make or break these babies.

Is that a significant point?

The AMD chips perform much better in Cinebench under a 64-bit OS.

Anyone got any numbers for an i7 920 or 930 to compare against these benchmarks? I clearly rely on comparative graphs too much these days as I've no idea how the i7 should be scoring on these benches so I can't really make a comparison by myself!

Indeed, would be more important to see a comparison between i7 920/30 and i5 750. We all know it's not going to better the more expensive of Intel's CPUs.

Personally I expect it to fall somewhere between the i7 and i5, both price and performance wise, but it'll be interesting to see how they compare.

where can i get a mounting bracket like the one pictured? i have so much trouble with the retail brackets

Do these CPUs contain DDR2 memory controllers?

I couldn't find a reliable answer for this question, and tbh it sounds too good to be true...

I thought they originally said that all AM3 processors would work with AM2+?
