good info, thank you. I think that sounds legit. it competes well but falls behind in games, where intel is usually the leader anyway.

now the final question becomes: can the normal overclock of a bulldozer make it faster than a normal overclock of a sandy bridge. probably 99% of 2500k can run at 4.2ghz. if 99% of bulldozer can run 5ghz or more on air, there might be a chance for bulldozer yet...
