With these early indications, I would have to guess that Phenom X4 is 20%-25% slower clock for clock.
Two tests :
old one http://news.expreview.com/2007-10-29...0532d6599.html
showing 5% gap between Phenom and Penryn.
new one http://www.expreview.com/news/hard/2...91d6785_1.html
showing 25% gap between Phenom and Penryn.
Why?

How in the world this can happen with 2 different setup (one for Intel and one from AMD)?
Too weird to be reliable. I don't say fake, i just say let's see in 2 weeks...
