Well, after years of waiting, it seems that AMD just released the nuclear bomb on the CPU industry.

Yes, that's a single-CPU Athlon 64 ClawHammer running at 2.1 GHz, OC'ed from 2.0 GHz. He's using a Radeon 9800 Pro (128 MB). 24,000+ 3d Marks with a 2.1 GHz processor.

There's the starting thread. He posts more benchmark tests, including his Quake 3 FPS score of over 500 frames per second.

Another company has benchmarked the Athlon 64 Opteron against dual Xeons, Pentium 4's, and Athlon XP 3200+. The SINGLE-CPU Opteron at 2.0 Ghz beat out the DUAL Xeons at 3.06 GHz EACH. http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1856&p=2

AMD has long since needed a revolution, and it seems that it's coming on September 23rd with the Athlon 64 release.
