    I can't really see those being better than the current Core2Duo/Quad core Intel CPUs out. Clock rates are similar, caches are similar (bit lower on the AMD ones, but they have a L3 cache oO). Those are higher voltages as well aren't they?

    Slash £15 of the price and then we are talking... They should outperform the duos clock for clock... I haven't seen any reviews of these tri-cores yet though...

    bring the highest one down too ~£130 and it will be a bargin i think. Hopefully these are good cpu's, would be nice for amd too get somewhere as they have actually been trying.

    Core 2 Duo E7300 VS Phenom X3 8600, Who wins? - Expreview.com

    Thats with the 8600, so it has the TLB bug. I'd be interested to see what a tri-core 8750 could do.

    Its true, really if AMD intend to regain any lost ground it needs to undercut Intels entry Quad core, which we all know is fast and over clocks very well.

    Amd need to bring in there 9850 under the £120 mark. Intel Q6600 will soon be £120
