"According to AMD"... yeah. Right. Just like the last generation.

I'll believe it when I see the benchmarks run by anandtech, arstechnica and hardocp.

It doesn't have to be as fast as the top end core i7, if they can make something faster that sells for the price of a mid range core i5.

For me, power usage and heat are pretty big factors... Not having the A/C running as much in Phoenix summers, let alone the power usage itself is pretty significant... couldn't believe the difference in moving from FX-8xxx series in my desktop, home server and htpc to newer intel chips made on my electric bill.
