Some early Phenom II testers/players are concluding that Phenom II plus the dragon platform is better for gaming than i7. That i7 is superior for number crunching and multi-threaded apps. From what I gather, the ability to jump the NB to 2400-2700 gives the Phenom II the edge plus the high overclocks at relatively low temps. (My sense is that you will need a very highend video card to reach these lofty heights.)
Maybe tomorrow we will have more data to support or disprove these early conclusions.
