Wow, nice little bit of marketing there. I think I may actually tune into it.

Reminds me when Microsoft presented Windows XP and the whole system BSOD....
Hope we dont see something like that in their presentation :)

curious...this show may be an announcement of either victory or surrender. Im guessing that they are going to show how fast barcelona is.

Well, it won't hurt to tune in, most have been asking AMD to present more than a paper trail....this is a decent beginning.
Thanks malware for bringing this to my attention, I would have missed the dam thing....

The pressure is on now....will this be a cartoon presentation of what could be or a national geographic presentation of what it is........watch the dam thing be postponed....:wtf:

I cant believe that the Barcelona will be such a hit...First benchmarks by AMD indicate that it wins in only 50% of the tests the Core 2 Duo and the second wins in the rest 50% of the tests.
Not to mention that half of AMDs lead staff has resigned...
Time will tell however :)

Eurgh just release the god damn processors already. Stop with the paper releases / conferences to say you will release the processors and release them.
