219? Curious, how would this dual core compare to a quad core phenom of around the same price?

At 3.6GHz+ it would murder any AMD chip. And they can hit 4.4GHz.

Hmm, what about at stock? Because I know the Phenom has a low clock.

And thats one nice oc.

This has been on newegg for days now. The first review is from the 21st.

Demon of a chip for sure, but not necessary. I'm GPU limited as it is.
