The funky guys over at Muropaketti (Finnish site) got an engineering sample of AMD's new Thoroughbred CPU. While they were not allowed to post any numbers, they said this: $qs I ran few tests and didn't face any problems. Unfortunately I can't tell you any benchmark scores but since there are no differences between Palomino and Thoroughbred than manufacturing process, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out that there are not much which could bring more performance.

All in all, the CPU seems to be pretty spiffy. If you want to check out their summary in English, click here and scroll to the bottom of the page. Do check out the shots too, as they compare the TBred with the Palomino.
