wbmw,

AMD showed a booted Windows 3 months after announced tapeout, and one would have thought that by then, they would be able to show a bit more than just the Task Manager screen. ANYTHING would have been better. At most, they demonstrated that Barcelona silicon in December was capable of at least running some simple scripts on all threads for a duration of ~3 seconds. At most, it suggests a Q3 launch is possible. In light of Intel's progress on their 45nm design, would this really get you excited?

Are you under the impression I am excided? I posted here very recently that I thought Barcelona schedule looked very tight.

The fact that AMD only showed taskmanager was tantamount to saying "this is all it will run".

It was running something. Task Manager showed a load on all 4 cores.
