  1. very old rev by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Being that I am an AMD employee, I know for a fact that B0 (the version of clawhammer that they are benchmarking) is a very early rev, and should not even be considered when thinking about final benchmarks. Geez.

    Well, one thing is for sure, xbit labs just blew their chances of ever getting their hands on another upcoming bleeding edge technology again.
