Deep Fritz 10 Chess shows a slight performance increase. Remember that this applications scales beautifully with more CPU cores, so it performs much better with Phenom on four cores than on Athlon 64 X2 on two.

Frame rates are 11% faster with a single core Phenom when compared to a single core Athlon 64 X2.

its architecture it fine but
it is clock speed the phenom lacks. if amd can just bump its speed up to around 3ghz-3.6ghz then it would make good competition towards faster intels. i can conclude from this benchmark that if you buy an phenom 9850 and clock it around 3ghz you have much more horse power then you would have with an athlon x2 6000+ however some benchmarks might tell you something else it makes sence if you use 1066mhz memory or just 800mhz mem
i wish tom's would update this topic with new benchmarks on the amd phenom 9850be. i'd like to know if it's more stable now that the "nasty bug" has been remedied with the march 2008 product line refresh.
