I think they were referring more to server tasks than anything having to do with gaming. I don't think they are going to be all that much faster than the core 2 architecture in gaming and benchmarks. I can see 15-20% on a good day. And that will be a monumental triumph for AMD if they can put those kind of numbers up. Which happens to be roughly the same performance advantage that C2D is currently enjoying over AMD clock for clock.

It's a see saw, they will continue to out do each other, that's what they are supposed to do. But I really don't see AMD coming out with a chip that can push a set (2) of HD2900XTs to 30k in 06.
