Heres an easy comparison, quad core > Dual core lol. Those Phenoms have 4 cores and of course will smack around a C2D. Heres the deal though 4 cores is till useless unless you have applications that can use it. Crysis is "supposedly" supposed to be optimized for 4 cores but i highly doubt it with the amount of single core gamers still in this world. (Yes, believe it or not) Dual core is just barely making its stand in the market cause there isnt a need to get more than 1 core in the gaming industry. Here to prove it, i dont need more than an OCed 3000+ A64 Venice to run all the latest games maxed out (DX9, i have no DX10 card) nor do i need a better processor to run 2 7950s in SLI. With a 3000+ and my 7950GT i got over 6k in 3dmark06.
So i say, AM3 FTW.
EDIT: *Disclaimer* By no means at all do i support SLI/X-Fire. Its a waste period.
