Oh I agree on upgrades. The performance difference isn't enough to compel someone who already has an AM2 system to go Blue. In that case they should get a phenom, it saves you a lot of cash. However I contest your Super PI notion. Intel chips are faster in general not just at one benchmark.
I doubt how much a die shrink can change things. Die shrinks make the cost go down, they also allow you to either have a lower TDP for the same performance for have the same TDP for higher performance. Lets be honest Phenoms don't scale that well, so I think AMD will get more bang for their buck per se' if they make them more energy efficient.
