And it’s damned impressive – according to (AMD picked) benchmarks, the top AMD chips beat Intel chips worth twice as much, and that AMD has managed to boost their instructions-per-clock by 52%, an absolutely unheard of jump. The only other time that came close was called the Conroe moment, when Core 2 Duo reset the entire CPU market.<\/p>\n
March 2nd, the chips go on sale. Demand is expected to be high.<\/p>\n
