30 Minutes is all it took to put together 4GHZ? Sign me up, especially given that AMD didn't "cheat" on their 6GHZ clocks like Intel claimed (claimed they might have, no Intel bashing please, k, thank you.)

Yes! I would be so happy if AMD were to come back strong.

Each of them will receive a brand new AMD Phenom II chip once they are released. These chips are said to be of an undetermined speed. We will wait to see what exactly that means.
I'd like to know what that means also. Maybe they have some high binned PhenomII's that are potential FX chips set aside already.

And nice work on the OC'ing. Those are some good numbers. It was nice to see some air cooled tests because as of late it seemed to be a big LN2-Peen competition between AMD and Intel. I hope those were not cherry picked so that we can see more results like that here on OCN in the near future.

it just shows how much confidence AMD has with the phenom II to actually build an i7 rig overclocked @3.2GHZ and sit it right next to theirs playing the same demo while both running a 4870x2.

offtopic: LOL at the "stay out 003" tag, you guys are just mean

Great news for AMD. I've always liked AMD, but I like Intel as well. More competition means better products at better prices, nothing wrong with that.

Wow, the Phenom II looks like it's gonna pack some punch against the Core i7. Price drops are imminent!
