We've learned that at the same clock speed Phenom IIshould be as fast of a bit faster than 45nm Yorkfield-based Core 2Quad. This will, of course, depend on the benchmark you run and allbenchmarks optimized for SSE 4 might still go in Intel’s favor.
At the same time, this gives you a clear picture that Core i7 shouldend up a bit faster than Phenom II at the same clock speed, but Core i7is currently at new price level as it will be drastically moreexpensive than Phenom II.
The good news is that Phenom II will be quite good overclocker and itwill fix its odds; but at the same time Core 2 Quad 45nm basedYorkfield is still one of the best overclockers on the block, so thefight will be rather interesting.
We are quite sure that this will lead to new price war, as Core 2 Quadmight have to drop in price as soon as Phenom II hits the market.
