So you are aware of all changes in K10.5 (Shanghai) ?
You know how that extra L3 cache is gonna effect performance, and which minor tweaks this CPU has, please lend me your crystall ball
I kinda wanted to report your post (so as not to feed the trolls and further derail this thread), but maybe it's not necessary, I'll give you a simple explanation why you are wrong: overall core 2 is superior, the benchmarks do not lie.
though, the uncore part (system interconnect) of k10 is superior to core 2, the most crucial part, the core, is not. k10 wins only in virtualisation and bandwidth heavy tasks. now what does nehalem improve on?
