If the Cinebench score serves any indication of real world performance, Toliman 2.3Ghz falls behind E6750 in multi-CPU calculation, and falls even behind Phenom 9600 in terms of single core performance.

Weird though, that Phenom 2.3Ghz scores about the same as Toliman 2.3Ghz in Super Pi.

At 2.3GHz, multithreaded performance is about on par with higher clocked C2Ds (E6750, E6850), but single threaded performance is quite poor, as can be expected.

The links you shown above talked about SIMULATIONS of the Phenom triple-core based on the Phenom X4 9600, not the real Triple-core 8600...
"AMD will destroy Intel with native tri core technology! Three cores are more than enough to frag Intel double cheeseburger quads which aren't even real quads! Intel BK Q109! AMD4Life!"
Well if their cheaper than Intels E6750, it will sell no doubt.
Its a surefire way to unload a ton of bugged quads.....cheap...
Except that the E6750 is being phased out, and by the time tri-core is released, it'll be competing against a faster E8400 at the same price as the existing E6750 (after all the damn price gouging subsides, obviously).
