Paul -

I don't get what all the negativity is about. @ 5% improvement(core) over equal clocked XP was expected, right?

One of the glaring issues is that SOI hasn't bought AMD anything. It cost them millions, over a year of delays and lowered frequency. Not much of a deal. AMD could have done a bulk silicon Hammer much faster, much sooner, much cheaper and it probably would have performed and yielded much better.
