"Just got back, 6.218 gig was top clock on LN2, 5.8gig complete benchmark run, 4 gig on air, 4.4 gig on phase change, lots of goodies given away, I think 6 or 8 PhenomII (to be delivered later, bummer), several 4800 vids, and several Killer network cards (that what I got), food and drink for everyone....Also, looks like February for mainstream availability....."

"Nope, but it can do the 4 gig even with the stock cooler, however, huge coolermaster, dual fanned heatpiped massive finnage coolers were doing the deed for the air cooled units...the phase change unit @4.4 gig reported -60c, it was a Prometia, I snuck into the bios and tried to get more out of the rig, but was greeted with a blank screen, oh well....they also had a couple more air cooled units that attendees were encouraged to clock themselves....all the units seemed to be running Vista Ultimate 32bit....then there were the two gamers stations to get some juices flowing...

This time the jump that AMD is making is not small, you will be impressed.....the LN2 Phenom was a semi cherry pick, they tested only three processors from a 30 unit batch, took the best one, the other two only did 5.5 for a stable bench run, uh, I'll take one...............

BTW, I said mainstream, there may be a trickle of units out sooner....from what I understood there aren't a whole bunch of units available right now...."
