I wouldn't put much hope in SuperPi scores on AMD to catch SB, but gaming should be much better than on K10 and that means at least not so much behind SB.

I really can't wait to see even Stream benches, if not more! Where is s7e9h3n when you need him most
Intel already have 8 core Nehalem (Beckton), much less 8 core SB (which due to the ring bus, should be easier to scale to many cores ).
