The original Phenom's were duds, no doubt. But the newer chips combined with SB750 motherboards make for a very nice quad core platform.... SuperPI excluded.
uh noes..... her we go again... phenom (even b3) is slower clock for clock then kentsfield for desktops apps.

nice that you show this with your own data (phenom need 2.6ghz to beat a 2.4ghz kentsfield...)
