AMD Bulldozer Finally!

There's obviously a problem, it's the fact there is a problem this late in the game that's worrying.

Can someone with 6 cores "bandwidth starve" their CPU, and run dual channel then single?
See what difference it makes.

Bulldozer is a different architecture than K10 though so we really don't know how good or how bad it responds to reduced memory bandwidth.
 
his benchmarking in a VM... why
It's TeamViewer, not a VM.

It's not even funny any more, it's just depressing. The only way this isn't a disaster is if there's hardware/BIOS/compatibility problems...in which case why are they releasing it? It's not like anyone would've been surprised if they delayed the release again to fix this crap.

EDIT: It looks like the turbo doesn't work properly (switching between 3.1 and 3.4 GHz when fully loaded), or it could just be a CPU-Z problem.
