I knew Kentsfield was great but wasn't aware of that it still beats Intels own top processors at same speed (in some benchmarks). This rather shows that Kentsfield is "one of a kind" rather than Deneb being bad.

(BTW, have a Q6600 myself and no AMD systems for now.)
Theres no need for intel to progress that much since AMD is leaps behind in their technology even with PhenomII, but atleast they are starting to catch up now, this might give intel enough motivation to crush AMD yet again. Competition is great for us consumers.

EDIT:

For the record, i have owned more AMD processors than Intel upto today.
