This should have never seen the market, especially this late in the game.

As I said, right now deneb seems to be the only glimpse of hope for amd since shanghai hasn't done much for them yet
You forget that nVidia named their 8-series as 9-series like it was an entirely new design. AMD basicly introduced a Phenom X2 line, that's completely different.

Also there's like a 3 Euro difference between an Athlon X2 6000+ and a Phenom X2 7750BE, to be honest that ain't a lot cheaper. As I said multiple times now, this ain't a superb CPU. It's a nice toy, and for me personally any K10 is worth it over K8.

I could ask the exact same thing, why is i7 better than C2Q while it uses more power and doesnt offer a lot more in gaming? Phenom X2 is faster clock for clock than K8, although we knew already K10 was faster than K8. But as I already said as well, it should have been launched earlier really. But well, this line will become 45nm soon enough, then it's even better
