Clock for clock its almost identical to FX81XX, this sucks

I'd like to see a little more than just Cinebench scores.
Honestly, this post just kind of scares me. This guy is literally crying because AMD's new processor will be 5% better than its old processor, which still means it fails to compete with AMD's 1090t from April of 2010.
Is there no NDA on this, or is the risk of a pink slip nonexistant? Can't help but notice what I would assume is a serial number for the ES.
Looks like a nice performance boost good job AMD, and the positive feedback around the web even outweighs the intel fanboys' and shills' propaganda, that's a good sign also. It will be interesting to see how the resonant clock mesh affects clocks and power consumption also. I don't expect intel's investor group to do anything but bash any product that might hurt their own wallet and would rather see all competition cease to exist, but the fact is that this is looking promising.
Guys remember that the PD CPU being tested is the lowest tier 8 core. There are actually 2 more steps above this CPU. So compare to a 2500k at most IMO. If they manage to fix the power consumption problem while gaining an overall 10% in singlethreaded performance, I think it will be good, especially for upcoming Windows 8.
