Not really, Phenom 2 might keep up with the older C2 Quads, but they can't beat the newer C2 Quads last I checked. |
Clock for clock they're still lagging the Core i7's. They've essentially become competitors of the q6600, but at a slightly better price. Intel's wolfdale cpu's predominantly outperform at a given cpu speed and can reach higher clocks on air, but cost more.
The Phenom II's are still a good investment because they offer great value for the money and it's claimed that their AM3 platform will be around for awhile (no reason not to believe this, but you never really know for sure). If I was building a new computer i would start with either an AMD AM3 cpu or an Intel Core i7 platform for future upgradability.
