AMD Phenom II Review Thread

[ryboto]

You are attacking Kyle's methodology. I agree, it was very flawed.

My position is that regardless of Kyle's methodology, I agree with his conclusion. Why? Because you can cut and paste benchmark charts from ANY website, and the conclusion is still the same: i7 > Core 2 Quad > Phenom II.

The conclusions I read implied Phenom II was competitive with Core 2 Quad. Though not mhz for mhz competitive, it is competitive. If you're considering overall performance, then yes, there are faster more expensive Core 2's not competing directly with Phenom 2. The conclusion can be correct in a certain light, though it's still a vague one.
