4. I recall that, when it came out, it was rather slower than Intel's Q6600 processor...
And the Q6600 (G0 stepping) can easily be overclocked to 3.0GHz with no risk to the CPU (native speed is 2.4GHz). And those tests were ran against the Phenom 9700.

Now the Q6600 is something like $275 and Phenom's price is going to be rather less, but I'd switch back to Intel if I were you.

(A couple posts down links to some pretty damning benchmark tests)
