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 )
But that is not ok!

AMD is doing great job with new P2 CPUs, and with prices that they offering, I think that costumers will be pleased. But comparision with i7 is too silly. Results of the 45nm C2Q is comparable, that is for shore

I spot this link here

Let see some test of this link

1. Super pi 1m - C2Q is better
2. Super pi 32m - C2Q is better
3. Cinbench R10 (this is interesting)
AMD P2 at 3000 MHz - 9754
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 at 2664 MHz - 10471
Intel Core i7 940 at 2930 MHz (HT on) - 13792
4. Wprime 32m
AMD P2 at 3000 MHz - 13,437
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450, Q9550 ... can not find results
Intel Core i7 940 at 2930 MHZ - 8,46
5. Wprime 1024m
... i7 - 264,475
AMD p2 - 428,625 ...

Please can some one find rest of the results ( Q9550 and Q9450 at default clock )

The point is that i7 can not compare with AMD P2 it is not same platform ...
