Multitasking you need to read between the lines in tests and also read about how the processor works. As I understand it AMD is built to handle worst case scenarios good. It isn't built to be a dragster when all data is coming perfectly. Running a lot of applications then these worst case scenarios is showing up a lot more.
Intel has more focus on beeing fast when applications behave good. Worst case scenarios they will have bigger performance hit compared to Phenom.

I don't think a computer user could say which computer he if it was a i7 or a Phenom II though.
Gosh stop being silly, Nehalem has eight threads and has proven capable of using them... well. I think you're an intelligent person, but the continuous use of this example to prove your point about nothing other than multi-tasking undermines that assumption on my part. You can't compare a dualcore to a quadcore in a multitasking environment - that is the sole purpose and strength of quads. Please save that comparison, I'm not interested. Have you tested Nehalem in a vmware environment?
