Keep in mind they do say with faster memory, barcelona should extend it's lead a bit further. So, it looks like intel still has the lead for the next product cycle, atleast on the desktop, although now AMD is atleast pretty competitive. Let's cross our fingers that they can get the speeds up by Q1 to match intel and be able to raise their asp to start making a profit again. Enjoy.
*edit*
Two things to point out:
1) The platform they are using still seems to be pretty buggy (see page 3), this may also degrade performance a bit.
2) Atleast on the server/workstation end, AMD seems pretty confident as they sent anandtech a Xeon server at 2.33ghz to compare to the 2ghz Opteron server.
