Hey, check this out! Some ppl have got their hands on a "SledgeHammer" and posted pictures and benchmarks. Looks sweet.

How the hell did they get a 3GHz sample?? I smell BS

Besides, that chip looks like a FC-PGA PIII that has been colored brownish red in Photoshop.

The ClawHammer has 754 pins (up from 462 on the Athlon and even up from 603 on the Xeon) and the Sledgehammer has a whopping 940 pins which is just over twice as many as the current generation Athlon

The chip in the picture has only 569 pins so this really does seem fishy. Also, the pins have a different arrangement than the pic that Anand shows in this article: link

No Brandon look at the benchmarked apps,they use Jasc Paint Shop Pro to fake those pictures.

Looks like a bunch of crap to me. Why the hell would AMD send that site (which I've never heared of) a Sledgehammer to review, and not send AnandTech one to review?

Oops, I didn't realize that this was supposed to be a joke. But I gotta say, the humor completely bland.
