Here is a quick list of some of the other 760MP reviews that are out.
Oh and please don't forget about Hooz's review of the K7 Thunder.
Oh and those of you who like to read press release information. A visit to AMD's "Virtual Press Room" will get the press release information from the other companies supporting the 760MP.CPU Review AMD Zone Socket A Tom's Hardware AMDmb.com

I like the boards. The CPU's are at the right price but HEY the motherboards are BIG bucks and packed with too many features. All I want is high speed memory and 64/32 bit PCI bus so I can plug the my next Raid card into. It seems like the regular Joe is left out until NVidia crush or something else comes along. I also found the memory thoughput of the AMD 760MP numbers weird. How is it so much faster to run that test with 2 CPU's -vs- 1 CPU?? Yes there should be some difference but the amount the AMD 761 set shows over a 30% difference. Intel should about 10 or was it 15%. Any ideas why that would be? Bob |

It's looking like it's an awesome board, but there have been a few references to the fact that it isn't as capable as duallie P4 Xeons for hardcore server applications... Mostly cause of cache (?) from what I see. I still want one dammit. I'm not running a hardcore server...  |

I am big time into graphics and video editing. Thats why my needs are different. PCI 64 is for the Escolade 64 bit controler card. The faster memory I/O is for rendering video images at high speeds. The PIV turned me off because of the PCI is messed up. The Xeon is too much $$. I was holding out hope for the AMD but it seems like only big $$ motherboards need apply. So it looks like I am stuck with the PIV as my only option. Its 1.5GB/sec memory I/O is just so hot. AMD has not given me personally an alternative that I can go with. The 770MB/sec for the afforable 760 chipsets just doesnt cut it. ARGHHHHHHHHHH. I want the CRUSH. Bob |

Because Intel shares one memory bus between both CPUs while AMD has a separate bus for each CPU. I may not agree with your opinion, but I will defend to the death your right to express it. |
