I'm eager to see AMD fans spin this one.

nn_step / informal, time to step up and be counted! LOL j/k

On a serious note, these results are disappointing from many angles.

OK, so Phenom performance is obviously sub par, but what about Penryn? And QC? Hardly no gains over C2D at all! Is it true that the Crysis SP demo is not multithreaded? It better be, otherwise all this talk of 'QC is needed for Crysis' is just total BS!

I guess the 'good' news is that Phenom is capable of overlclocking to 3GHz on the B2 stepping... but it doesn't do much good when C2D/C2Q is superior clock for clock and clocking to 4GHz+ (in the case of Penryn) or 3.5GHz+ with current 65nm Conroes/Kentsfields.
