What's the price of this CPU? The review has only the price of 5800.
I also wonder how it would work against Intel options in the same price range, eg some i3's. For gaming rig, it appears the extra cost of 2500K is low enough to get it instead of the new AMD series, but for the other purposes, like office computers or home server / htpc, it might be ok.
For high-performance benchmarks, like gaming, or video encoding, I have to agree with SLI-756 - Intel CPU = longer bars = win, but will we test a tank against a sports car on a track or in rough terrain?
Don Hilbert, could you add some extra benchies for these kind of rigs? I mean you already perform a lot of benchmarks and they show a lot but I'm afraid they're not always suitable for low-mid range of computers. Could you think about adding some more home server/htpc tests too? I'd suggest things like TrueCrypt, Smooth Video Project, and power draw during media playback (SVP + something typical).
