Better watch aceshardware.com, diep is getting tested there by Johan de Gelas. He is a very acurate tester. Note he doesn't always mention how many threads he tests nor the memory. Default all hardware there has all memory banks filled with cas2 memory. Filling all memory banks makes a huge difference for stronger chessprograms nowadays. Slate here is not in objective business, but in overclocking and bad comparision business.
