1 GHz extra and same L2 cache gives X2 the advantage

LOL. The overwhelming benefit of IMC/HT shines through
yet again.

The 5600+ is a nice chip and very nice at $185 but the big OEMs haven't passed through the price changes in their systems. I'm
watching it like a hawk.

Intel will have their price cuts next week so the two companies
should be at parity. One difference is that the 5600+ is 90nm
and the E6600 is at 65nm so cost of production is lower with
Intel's chip.
