 |  AMD shows off Barcelona at 3Ghz I GUESS THE speed path problems with Barcelona were a bit overblown. At the analyst day this morning, AMD demoed a 3Ghz Phenom running the new 'Tri-Fire multi-GPU' setup. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=41256

| The question is wheter this is some very good sample to calm down the analysts or if it is indicating that the yields are great. |

| Raw PCIe bandwidth should not be a problem, or in the very least it will not be with PCIe 2.0 boards. I would wonder about how much satuation Crossfire+GPU physics in addition to the already loaded RAM/CPU/Audio/disks would cause to the northbridge? Even though the southbridge handles some things like disks and audio it still must be routed through the northbridge... |

| The stock market didn't seem to take this bait at all, with AMD loosing even more than Intel despite Intel being investigated by the EU (with a potentail 2.5 bn € fine). |
