Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Believe what you want dude but BD will be that bad only in your dreams. Top 8c FX will beat the 2600K in heavily MT programs like CB 11.5 and lose in most if not all low thread scenarios.
That's no "fantasy" blog, OBR has a history of breaking nda and posting numerous leaks, furthermore he is completely biased against AMD so there is no chance of him faking these results just to make BD look better and they aren't that good anyway for an 8 core CPU. Again the results you posted...

Has anyone tried this free game? The first space sim I've played featuring Newtonian physics making this game quite challenging but still fun to play. The graphics are pretty old, although if you crank the AA and AF it looks acceptable.
Hardwarecanucks tests the power consumption of the same EVGA GTX 260 216 SP Superclocked but end up with very different numbers from Anand
