Sure the price is nice. Then again Intel has similarly performing Quads around the same price, e.g. Q9450 and Q9550. Performance-wise Intel still has i7 spanking everything AMD has and everything AMD will have until Bulldozer. PhII is nice improvement over Phenom but it is no Intel beater by any degree, as some here have been wishing.

(sorry if my post did hurt someones feelings, but busting the bubbles has never been this fun. I finally understand Shintai.).
