Doug, Re: The FX-53 on 939 will not get an official PR rating, it's just there to beat the 3.6 P4EE whenever Intel gets around to one (and likely the 3.8, and if Intel does switch to EE = same cache, iAMD64 enabled, it'll keep up with the 4GHz EE, too).
Actually, you might be right. I've been none too impressed by Prescott's performance nor scalability. On the other hand, performance is sometimes a moot subject. Intel manages to profit from processor sales even when they are behind in performance, and meanwhile, AMD has been known to lose money, even when they are ahead. I would be nice for the stock if their lead this time can keep them profitable.
