Why Q9550 is not comparable? Why Q9450 is not comparable?
Cause they have the "same name" so they must be comparable.

If we go with the "leaked marketing" slides, AMD themself compares PII with C2D (45nm). Only the hardcore amd fanboys want to compare PII with i7. (yeah flame me for that but thats what i have seen so far )
