The numbers we're seeing from Deneb are amazing for the simple fact that it's a huge leap in frequency from the last gen offering. No doubt about that. If AMD can improve on this (like 7Ghz) overclocks, they can win a lot of enthusiasts back. But that is to assume that Intel won't improveon their current offerings either, which would be dumb. The fight as I see it, is going to be who can shrink their cores even more and how much they can put on a die; unfortunately Intel is ahead to the 32nm process. If AMD can stage in a coup by surprising Intel with speed and even ipc efficiency, then that'll be fun to watch. Hopefully, I'm wrong and AM3 Deneb is a 7Ghz monster chip, because that is what it's going to take to compete.
