Intel Corp (INTC)

AMD had to downclock its competitor from 3.2GHz to make the fight fair, but the benchmark as still a notable win

ROFL, if AMD arbitrarily lowers the clock rate of an Intel chip it can even
make Bulldozer seem like a winner in comparison.

Given the huge discrepancy between pre-release hype and post release
harsh look in the sunlight of independent scrutiny for AMD's last couple
of processor architectures I don't think these Zen marketing stunts are
worth a cup of warm spit.

The only reality disclosed is a delay to Zen's release. That is never
a good sign - respin for either a late bug or to desperately tune up
critical paths to squeeze out another frequency bin or drop voltage
and power another 50 mV and 5W to be slightly less uncompetitive.
