Yes it seems it would make sense so long as its considerably cheaper than i7
my i7 has overclcoked very well, I personally think it good value, just the initial costs of ram and boards make it expensive

I haven't seen any benchies or even something that looks like benchies but it's stated a lot that the Phenom II is meant to oppose the C2Q series and not i7. So personally I'd guess the price is quite low (= around the current mark) but performance isn't close to i7 either.
Still, if they outperform the C2Q series and are just as expensive / a little cheaper it's going to be a good option for upgrading and new systems. Espeecially the upgrading is appealing because a lot of people already have an AM2+ motherboard.

remember its early days, I'd wait for some real overclcok results not LN2 with super volts

nope I'd be glad to see it, some price competition and another platform worth considering....plus AMD/ATi seem to be shorth of cash, hope they do well with it...love the 4870x2 card seems ati are gaining ground slowly
in honesty I cannot see it coming that close to i7 i'm expecting around the better end of core2quad territory, but if the price is right it will be a hit.SwaleSmith

I hope so...but anyone could write that...

Hmm I'd be ****ed on spending €700 on something that's approached by a €400 setup (mobo+cpu+ram), but as SwaleSmith said - AMD needs the cash and it's good for the price drops.
Actually I share my complete opinion with SwaleSmith so I don't really see the point of writing this but I do anyway ...

LOL think i7 has little to fear in the way of competition from amd cpu's other than value aspect wich is what I think may win it the vote for many ...but you never know...

Lol, I bet many people though that when the gtx280 came out, yourself included, and then look what happened.

SwaleSmith's been on 2xgtx280 himself so I guess he knows the differences
not braggin LOL have had tri sli gtx280 OCX also lol.....they dont scale well SLI is next to no slower SLI is fast but a whisker and I do mean a whisker slower than a 1x 4870x2!!!! but they apparently they quad fire like $hit, but who would need it anyway if it would scale, just bench fans???
