I think everyone knew these new Phenom 2 CPU's would be about the same perf as Core2Duo/Quad or even lesser... thats what I thought anyway.

Going by the Super PI results this is pretty average.

My E6300 @ 3ghz does SuperPI 1M in 19.xx seconds

I upgraded this cpu to a E6420 yesterday (got it for $45 so why not hehe)

The E6420 @ 3ghz does SuperPI 1M in 17.xx seconds (the extra 2mb cache mem must help a lot in suppi)

@ 3.42ghz SuperPI 1M is 15.xx seconds... considering this brand new Phenom 2 @ 4ghz does this at 16.xx seconds its not looking good for AMD.
