I just feel unless AMD do something about the phenom (especially with the great deals on a Q6600 etc) these days, then its the phenom thats useless..

Well not useless, but being pushed behind because now even the prices are not so great when the lower end intel parts that have similar if not more preformance, can sometimes cost the same or less, but come with a smaller die, less heat, more OC potential, and less consumption.

I hope AMD hits a nice 45nm soon I really do.
Its about envelopes right now.

AMD cant clock Phenoms higher without pushing them into higher wattage envelopes which take away from its "energy efficient" and "low power" monikers. So yes, 45nm should help.
