No, it's drivel.
I mean, he's implying that S775 chips won't work fine when the mainstream i7 stuff is released. That's just rubbish.
The stuff he claims about AM3 may be true, may not be true. There's no way of knowing what he claims unless he works for AMD, in which case he's probably break some NDA. So yeah, AMD fanboy drivel strike two.
And lastly, you can get a £80 S775 motherboard and a £70 CPU from Intel and hit 4Ghz on air today. So he's saying you'll be able to spend an extra £40 in 6 months and get exactly the same thing. Drivel strike three.
I don't understand the point of this by AMD. Surely it would have made better fiscal sense to release the entire platform as new, rather than releasing two relatively subpar processors at ridiculous price points for an old platform, and then move to a new one.
