Found an other interesting comment on the planet3dnow forum.

Im direkten Vergleich beziehe ich mich auf einen i7 965 und einen nicht übertakteten Phenom II. Taktfrequenz des letzteren ist leider aufgrund des NDA nicht freigegeben, aber sovie darf ich verratenl: sie lag unter der des 965.

In the direct comparison I refered to an i7 965 and an non overclocked Phenom II. I can not share the frequency of the later one due to NDA, but I can say it was below 965.

The comment comes from mj who was present in austin, it was related to the quote I posted yesterday.

Lot of discussion had happend meanwhile, in case you missed it. He said an Phenom II made a good figure compared to an i7 965. They ran 7zip wprime farcry and crysis.

Does mean an unknown non overclocked Phenom II (3GHz?) performs like an i7 965 (Turbo/HT unknown, 3.2GHz? QPI/NB speed?) running on higher clocks with benchmarks like wprime, 7zip, farcry and crysis.
