I think it will be much worse, but I hope you are right.

AMD have said themselves that it will bring 20% ipc improvements over Barcelona
They also said that Barcelona would bring 40% over Core 2 and the only people who don't realise how well that turned out are the clowns on AMDZone.

What makes me so positive is the way intel are going about things with this massive paper launch of nehalem, they are throwing everything at it to the detriment of the current penryns which are a great cpu in their own right.
Is the launch of Nehalem any more or less papery than previous Intel new architecture releases?

I just get the feeling intel are running scared atm. I have never seen them react this way in my 20+yrs of being around pc's.

Here's hoping.
Hope springs eternal.
