Johan has been asking me for stats on his article vs. mine for the first day of publication, I thought I'd surprise him here. Straight from our admin engine I've got the following first-day stats for the two Barcelona pieces:
The article AMD's Quad-Core Barcelona: Defending New Territory was read 916168 times.
The article AMD Phenom Preview: Barcelona Desktop Benchmarks was read 784524 times.
I'm actually a bit surprised, I didn't expect as much interest in the server benchmarks as in the desktop preview but honestly, Johan's article was way better than what I put together so it makes sense. Good job J :)
I've always been a fan of Johan's work and I'd been after him for years, the day he indulged me and joined the team I was super excited. That's actually been the case for all the members of the team, I go through this giddy period whenever someone new joins the family; I'm such a kid at heart.
