Give TheInq its due, they hit paydirt before anyone else on most stories. If they ran it, I'd believe it... they test their own stuff as well as keeping tabs on others who get the good stuff early.
The first 26k, I think was broken with the HD 2900XTs CF, by some team. Then kingpin responded with a 26,847 via 8800Ultras. Then Shamino and Kinc broke the 27k.
Yes i am a nvidia/intel fanboy too but i am not too strong on it. I wouldn't try to destroy a amd or ati system. I just wouldn't buy them unless its a really cheap bargain or it's for free! lol
100% BS.. 5.0+ghz intel quads get around 26k and that's with ln2 and all that fun stuff. There is absolutely no way that a moderate overclock of a phenom would beat Intel by that much.. it would be amazing if it beat it at all at only 3.0ghz.
