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

i agree as well

the ONLY thing i am not sure about is how well retail chips will OC on LN2 and if AMD has a massive lead on LN2 (say 1GHz) will that be enough to compete on multithreaded benchmarks still

guess we'll find out in January the full story

The thing is even if PIIs can overclock to 6Ghz or even 6.2ghz benchable, under ln2, they'd still be beaten by Intel parts. If we can see 7Ghz benchable PIIs, then things will get exciting. The reason why the dust has already settled is that we have a good idea what the PIIs are capable of at stock; it is not too good a picture, considering that a lower clocked Q9550 fares very well against them. That's ALL we need to know; stock numbers. It's the reason why they're priced below the Q9550. Ln2 is for the pros; and how many are there? So it'll appear to me that the performance line has already been drawn.
