My only complaint is they didn't compare it to the Q6600.

Yea.. but they did compare it to a QX6700..

Anyways.. this is really good. If AMD brings it's Quad FX program back I'd consider one...

Also when BE 9900s come out I'll look into one.

Nice job AMD.

Because 9900 gets outperformed readily by Q6600, especially in games.

I really hope AMD can finish the K10 architecture. This is getting a little bit unacceptable.

That has to be the worse review article i have ever seen.

The Core 2 Quad QX6700 runs at 2.66GHz at stock speed, and I suspect that AMD will price the Phenom 9900 below the QX6700's current $949 price tag.

update: A reader pointed out that the Core 2 Quad E6700 running at 2.66GHz is available for $560

Fortunately it looks like the Phenom 9900 AMD sent us is a newer stepping - B2 to be precise - and even though it is not the fabled B3 stepping that will fix TLB erratum, it does seem to have opened up some extra "elbow" room.

Taking from the 1st and last page of that article

Having read that I'm not even going to bother reading the article. How can you get so much wrong in 1 page.

And still, AMD wins on the memory benchmarks while Intel outperforms on the real stuff (like games and 3-d rendering).
