I have to admit this Phenom2 info has me more excited than the i7 stuff, i have a feeling AMD have been working hard to bring performance up a little..and remember its platform performance they are working on,you have to couple this CPU with the new boards featuring sb750 and 4XXXGPU to get the full effect.

I can't wait to see initial benches around 4GHZ, where is Macci when you need him?? LOL

Overall this is exciting and something the industry does need IMO
