But 3Ghz with SB750 is pretty common,unless you got a really "bad" chip(which can happen).
As for the hwbot,it doesn't really represent the common case since SB750 boards haven't fully hit the market.And Phenoms are improving,you see a 9950 now rated at 125W.
As for the intel comment,i think you got the wrong section of the forum,since this is AMD section where AMD enthusiast reside.We like tweking our systems.Will this new Phenom be able to OC to e7xxx levels?No it won't.But i personally don't care,since i don't own nor plan to own dead-way socket 775 anyway .Maybe some other users will try it tho,and it's all good if it satisfies them.

Market will decide if a product is good or not,and you very well know most of people(95% i'd say) don't know what overclocking is,let alone try OCing.Heck,most of those 95% are scared to even try pressing Del. to enter the BIOS...

So your 4Ghz OCs matter only to enthusiast and they are small in numbers.The other big number is where the OEMs are,and if the price is right,and performance is good,like i think it will be, X2/3/4s will sell good.Not at prices AMD would like(due to fierce competition),but they will sell.
Well then SB750 and the better overclocks are also minimal for AMD, overclock counts both ways or it doesnt both ways.

Yet I don't have it in my sig. Does it mean I don't have 3+GHz? No, it doesn't.
Quite a bad post, check the links to HWBot afaik is the biggest database and for overclocked rigs for benching and 3GHz is still not average for all models.
