Re: Nehalem wipes the floor with Penryn, let alone anything AMD will have.

Penryn wipes the floor with AMD already. In the Nehalem context, AMD isn't even in this same zip code. There are already cases where Yorkfield gets +50% or more performance over Agena (including the clock speed advantage), and Nehalem will now add 20-50% on top of that. Yorkfield is also as low as half the power of Agena, and Nehalem only adds 10%.

Performance/watt wise, Nehalem should have a 2x advantage over AMD in some apps. And that includes "AMD not standing still".
