While the results look certainly very pro-competition, I will have to agree with Z hand down on this one. The ability to do a true review requires building a PC from scratch yourself. Nobody can say for sure what's true and what's not in this controlled setup, and boy we have been
PR'ed so many times by now that one would think we should have some sort of "BS Alarm" going off when you see something like that.
If Intel truly delivers a chip like this - I will be the first to take my hat off, since I first and foremost believe in healthy and fair competition. But the "controlled" factor and "fair" somehow sound mutually exclusive to me.
I guess time will tell, and I am waiting for DH Team to do a true in-house evaluation of this very promising new technology. And if it's as good as what Anandtech results show, and the price is right, who knows - I may be swinging Intel when the next build time comes.
