Currently having a Phenom II x4 build and I have nothing bad to say about it.

ah the usual "oh but but they play dirty it's not fair" crying.
If you actually say something more relevant like Phenom II is cheaper, runs just as good as C2Q, and is highly overclockable I would've agreed with you.

Well sorry for thinking that even economy has its rules to protect consumers.
And if you think all those other things you mentioned weren't on my mind when I bought my Phenom II you're horribly wrong.

Benefiting consumers is only a bonus, every corporation's primary concern is its own profit.
Also I can't read minds. If you only say you won't buy Intel because they are evil, I will think you buy AMD just because it's not Intel.

Of course it is, but that doesn't mean they should be allowed to step down on consumers any way possible. They can and will still make plenty of money even if they wouldn't use such dirty measures.

You'll be able to buy (retail) one of these sweet new processors around mid August and the mobos in early August. They will be using a different socket than the i7s 1366, Socket 1156 and therefore you won't need to get an expensive X58 chipset mobo, but rather a new much more afordable mobo with the new P55 chipset.
I'm very excited and can't wait! I was about to build a new PC with a Phenom II X4 processor until I stumbled upon this today. Was planning on building it for late July/Early August, but I don't mind waiting a bit more for the great performance these new processors will bring about. Keep in mind that they will not be better than the i7s as their names suggest. Although some might outperform the i7 920 at a more affordable price.
IMO this is going to kill AMD until they release a new Processor with new a new arquitecture. Even if their Phenom II processors have great prices, they still cannot beat Intel's Core 2 Quad processors clock per clock... who knows where they'll stand against the new Intel processors ???.

Core i7 is like what, around 250 US dollars? 50 dollars more than whatever AMD's latest processor is? .... o_O;; I'm an Intel guy so I won't bother with AMD's processors. I'll get Core i7 or whatever their newest processor is in the next 2 or 3 years. I'm running Quad 2 Core and I'm loving this baby.

They don't count 1-2-3 then turn around and shoot. Get real.
