Even with DDR3 bandwidth. AM3 would still trail behind i7 by quite a bit.
cache is still a big factor.
Give a 940 DDR3, 12mb cache with a 95w tdp and it would be even more of a monster.
How much are the new AM3 mobos going to cost? Not all AM2+ boards will support the new chips...
Not sure...i have a high end Am2+ board and paid $200 for it so they may not be that cheap.
