It doesn't matter much if Zambezi will be quicker than Phenom II if the performance gap between AMD and Intel continue to grow.
What CPUs are in practice better than x6 1090T? Hm...i7 965 is simillary, and better is only i7 975 + i7 980X (970). Firstly i read maybe all reviews from world (its my hobby), so sorry, but your arguments are irrelevant for me in this.

SB will not faster than Gulftown, only in memory benchmarks. Next highend of SB will at 3Q 2011, mainstream SB will atacking segment about i5 750 - i7 950.
