That's pretty damn idiotic... So if AMD had released the 2.2 and 2.3 versions only when they had the faster versions available, and when Intel had already the slower C2Q versions, so that there was plenty overlapping, then phenom woudn't be worse then prescott,

K10 will end up being 15% slower then penryn, Prescott was a lot more slower then that.
