It'll take slightly more to be on par, and significantly higher to actually beat it convincingly.

I feel unless your life depends on heavy multitasking, or you work with a heavily multithreaded application that is actually capable of utilizing all cores @ 100%, this processor is not for you.

This processor would be suitable for WCG, F@H, x264 Encoding, etc. And that's for those already on the AMD platform. People on Intel platform already have this performance with the i5, i7 quads. It'll be interesting to see how much PPDs this chip can achieve vs. the 8 threads of Nehalem in WCG.
the 1090T with turbo goes to 3.6 ghz, a 400 mhz boost. pretty decent i think.

the 1055T with turbo goes to 3.3 ghz, a 500 mhz boost.
