AMD Shows Deneb (Phenom II) pictures of 6.2GHz CPUz etc

Well this throws my plans into the wind, I was going to get i7, but if they are that close I might aswell wait till after December to buy.

Damn it, my builds been on hold so long

I am quite sure Deneb is no match for i7. I mean, 4 GHz Deneb gets outperformed by some 3.4 GHz i7.

Depending on what you are using it for. THat isn't across the board. Games for example, i7 really isn't much better than previous gen stuff IIRC, so if that is what you are building your PC for I'd not get i7 and save all that money.

Yeah, but even still i7 is faster than a Deneb. Especially in future when more and more threads can be utilized for certain tasks. E.g. games like SupCom could have nice gains with i7 over Deneb/C2Q.

Then again, for games, Deneb @ 4.2 GHz(Be it high-end air or wc, besides anything from 3,6 GHz is enough) = cool, cheap and fast enough when compared to performance-wise equivalent i7 platform.
