Let's hope that AMD puts the CPU's out at very competitive prices... as many might still be tempted to use S775.

Looking from my point of view (hardware wise) I just might replace the Striker to mess with one of these... just to have something new

Will there be much gain with AM3 over AM2+ ( I lost track of AMD innovations long time ago) performance wise ?
Ah that way. Yeah, AMD platform is cheaper, but it ain't if you move from a skt 775 just for Deneb and get the same performance

I dont know really. 5% is quite a bit of a jump. However, did AMD said this or FUD?

Anyway, I dont think it's comparable to Intel's move from DDR2 to DDR3. There's a reason i7 uses QPI
