I have no issues if anyone recommends it, that's your own choice. And most reviewers iwll prolly have a good reason/conclusion to back it up.
But the site mentioned in the OP is getting a bit famous here at Hwbot with their ratings and awards.
Some extracts : The review itself says the that the price is not good atm , yet they give it a value award, beats me how that lines up...The OCing comment is marvellous too...
Games have been nicely run at almost exactly AMD specs, trash the GPU and you get similar results accross most CPUs...
This CPU is not as bad as many think for daily users, most biggest issue is the heatoutput and powerusage... and yes it's still way overpriced... for benchers it is worthless...
And for the AMD blog they have to tell us something don't they... and everyone tests a game at different way, you can't compare results unless there's a build in benchmark thingy (that's gives a reliable output)... so his comments are a bit silly...
