WoW .. dude. Tell us what you really think!

I am reading that AMD's quad-core Phenom should perform somewhere in the vicinity of Intel Core 2 Qual Processors of the same clock speed, except they are cheaper.

This is an accurate statement for any of the AMD Phenoms that are 9X50 model numbers. It also applies to the 9X00 model numbers when you disable teh TLB Eratta. The TLB Eratta is a bug in the processors architecture that instead of fixing properly AMD simply decided to patch over by disabling the feature. The end result is a loss of 20-50% of the performance of the chip.
