Well, precisely, and that's why it's such a convenient arguement to make.
If that were the case we'd be seeing Phenom's sell equaly as well as C2Q as they are absolutely price competive, regardless of IPC and clock speed. The thing that pushed C2Q over the top, was it's overclocking ability. That arguement never held water 2 years ago, so it sure won't now.The biggest issue in PhII's success or otherwise will be pricing, IPC and Clock Speed at stock release.
