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.
Since you know so much please be kind enough and provide us all with the review of the retail Phenom II system.If you can't,on what exactly are you basing your post?A few leaked slides,from unknown sources?How come "all of a sudden" slideware has become reliable source
