Re: You don't know if it was up to spec or not. Just because they didn't tip their hand doesn't mean you can safely make assumptions...

Earth to Paul... It's the big hand, everyone has already bet, and now it's AMD turn to lay down their cards. Whatever they don't show has no strategic value and will only hurt them.

If their Barcelona demo could have done more than run a few simple tests and display Task Manager without crashing, AMD would have shown it! You can bet your bottom most dollar on that.

Wake up Paul. Nobody would sandbag on a demo when they're this far behind. If they had any more functionality they'd have showed it. The only question is have they made any progress since December? I wish Intel had done a public demo of Penryn but we'll have to wait for a public forum of some sort to see one. I don't know this as a fact but I suspect Penryn is now ahead of K8L in debug.
