They used Crysis to display stability, that part is right, but they did not do so on the LN2 run and that was pretty much a suicide shot. That's probably one of the reasons why they made the press withdraw their claims of 6,3 GHz. as that was pretty much a suicide run.
@herderien: You will always be disappointed with your hardware after a certain period
. I don't think you will regret your investment, I think Phenom II will mainly be an interesting extra choice to choose from, which is all AMD needs and can deliver. Being really competitive with Intel will make Intel lower its prices and AMD needs the all the profit they can get. Still, I think I'm getting myself a nice Phenom II rig next year. IPC of Phenom II will most likely still be lower on Phenom II than on Core i7 and having an AM2+ platform is not very future proof either (AM3 will be and LGA 1366 of course).
