AMD Phenom II has arrived.

[Xeon]

The X4 920 and the X4 940 Black Edition are supposed to position themselves between the Intel Core 2 Quad and the Core i7. And it seems AMD has improved their Phenom chips, but don't hold the crown yet over Intel. The Intel Core i7 though is a monster, but doesn't justify it's hefty price tag since nothing can really take advantage of that much power at the moment. The Phenom II chips are still struggling in getting past the 45nm Q9400 chip, and still don't beat my Q9450 in some benches.
