not really. Its ahead in 2 of the tests, albeit by a small margin, about 1% faster clock for clock in cinebench than e6600 aka conroe, and 2 1/2% in grid.. in crysis its about 5% behind based on the fps... its basically clock for clock with conroe at low speeds, and we ve seen that with improved nb and htt clocking could probably increase those margins, especially as the clocks rise, so if this is the case, and it is indeed a deneb test bed, then deneb seems like it will close the gap on penryn whether it will catch it or not remains to be seen of course. But this does seem to be good news for amd considering this is 65nm and not 45nm.
