I'm guessing some noob in the 30k 3dMark06 K10 thread said the 170%.

I was expecting about equal to C2Q, hoping for a 10-20% advantage but we still have yet to see Phenom on an AM2+ board. Still won't push Phenom way ahead of C2Q but probably equal, possibly slightly ahead.

I'm still holding out to see how Phenom OCs and if Penryn is worth it over a Q6600.
Someguy form Anand i believe said those numbers.

About OC on Anand they have a cpu overclocked to 2.5 and they need 1.5v for that.

My C2D E6850 does 4.0GHz at same volts so overclock doesnt seem good for AMD.
