Not really since it doesn't have it
Gettting confused with the i7 perhaps ?
Im sure Phenom II have Hyper-threading

The board used made a great deal of difference with mine, no more than 3.0ghz on an evga 680i a1 (supposed quad riendly revision) switched over to a p45 p5q deluxe, 3.8ghz prime stable with relative ease, though i ran it daily at 3.6ghz, one thing i did notice though was that the last production run q6600's didnt seem to overclock as well as earlier batches.Main problem with the Q6600 not hitting the higher overclocks is a lot of motherboards just aren't designed to supply the current for a 65nm quad - get it on a good P45 board or similiar and 3.6+ should be easy.

True, 3.4-3.5ghz is still a pretty decent clock on a quad.Yup but still they all did around 3.4-3.5ghz on air provided you had a decent mobo.
No but they do got HyperTransport™
No he didn't.....he has the NB running @ 2.2ghz and ram timings at a nice 7,7,7,20
But yes, personally I'm totally unimpressed by the Phenom 2. Which is why I'll be moving to a Q9400 or Q9550 when I get some more funds. Yorkfields can easily get over 4ghz on air cooling while outperforming the Phenom2 clock for clock.
Super PI is a complete no between AMD, Intel architecture as its heavily Intel optimized & i do mean heavily.
Phenom II is actually good upgrade from original Phenom but still those highest clocked versions only manage to struggle along with Yorkfield and probably for consistently guaranteeing stability default voltage makes them compete with hottest P4s in power consumption.It is something that makes me chuckle really, it's maybe a bit harsh to call P2 a complete failure but apart from brand loyalty i don't know why anyone goes P2 over a Yorkfield...
