And AMD will be right on there ass with something just as fast if not faster.



And it will still barely beat a Core 2 Quad in performance. (Couldn't help myself!)



i7 barely beats Core 2 Quad its self lol and is still beat by C2Q Extreme



I can't remember where I read it, but after looking at some detailed specs i noticed that the data transfer speeds (of FSB and QuickPath) for the C2Q Extreme were about the same as the i7, so there still might be some bottle neck. Also the C2Q had higher L2 caches (which is better for gaming). The i7 processors arent much faster but i think there is a lot of head-way in the architecture that could be exploited.
