Me personally I don't think although i could be wrong that deneb is meant to go head to head with i7 clock per clock. This is just based on an educated guess based on suggested retail price and current retail prices of the I920. Etc retail 3.0 deneb suggested ball park $300 I920 $300.

I would love to see how it compares to current intel quads however especially q9550 being priced in its range, If asked I would bring my current rig for a head to head comparison on air.

I'm thinking that Amd most definitely has the edge here with what apears to be a majority of cpu's stable @ 4.0 on air while most struggle for 3.6 on air with intel.
