[Throwed]

Here also is ahead core 2quads ddr2....

I saw in the hwbox clock for clock comparison review that phenom II was about 9% slower than yorkfield...Now, amd says that am3 mobo + ddr3 ram will be a 5% performance increase.. so am3 denebs will be 4% slower than yorkfield...with some tweaking and new bios Amd will be just behind i7

Good point Noki and for 275.00 you just can't beat Denebs. Power Efficient, inexpensive, very overclockable, cheaper mobo options, and excellent performance.........What more can you ask for? Can't wait until the price wars begin again. To be fair I can't take anything away from the Core i7, but the cost makes them so not worth it for the performance you get. AMD can now brush their shoulders off in the CPU section. I haven't been this stoked about AMD since the A64 single core days(Venice).

Can't wait until the PII 945's are released. Good things to come for all consumers.
