The Phenom 9700 as tested today is competing relatively good with Intel's Q6600, yet that processor has been out for half a year already, yet AMD is fighting off bugs in it's CPU and mainboard platform. At this very moment, at the very least, the mainboards still have a number of bugs that need to be squashed, and this still has an effect on performance.

well, there's some nice info in there from the tests but who the hell wrote that? parts of it are inaccurate and other parts are so badly written that it makes you question whether English is the authors first language...

I think they are dutch mate. :)
 
The way I see the phenom "debate" if you will is, good power consumption and can overclock to 3Ghz. Hopefully later revisions will clock better. The Overdrive software as well looks really really good. Priced similar to the Q6600 but with slightly less performance. It's not a *bad* CPU, afterall it is the first native quad CPU available... it's just 6 months too late to the party. :( So I think it they could undercut Intel, then people would consider them more.
