Tom's Hardware's coverage (in German) is here , a translation to English is here - Anandtech also covered the new CPU release. For those of you who want to learn more about the Thunderbird, here is an interview with AMD on the processor release. Overall, the Thunderbird is performing quite well, and will be sold at the same price as current Athlons. "

    The Register is running a story that AMD have unveiled the Thunderbird.

    CPU Review has a review of the Thunderbird here, and Sharky Extreme review it here.

    Now what benchmarks actually make use and what motherboards actually support these CPU's to its fullest?

    I don't think AMD's cpu's are being optimized fully by any software/driver and hardware combination yet. The world is yet still waking up from Wintel and i'm sure with more optimizations, better memory to cpu bus and better motherboards on the horizon the same chip will outperform intel counterparts.

    Just my 2 pence
