The article pretty much sums it up, but heres the short hand virsion.
AMD has finally come back at Intel. X8L is crushing the Pentium D's Prestler core in all benchmarks, with the exception of mabe one or two. However compairing the FX-62 to the benchmarks of the Conroe, Intel still will have the upper hand.
nForce 5 is going to be the board for me. With sual x16 support, and a built in SLi bridge its quite the board. They also have a new transfer tech, so that the 7900 series will see a 20% boost in preformance. This will also carry over for the 7950 series, and 8x00 series.
And its just in time too, as I was looking for a new mobo anyway.
Cheers
