Power, performance, die size… they were all tipped wildly in favor of Intel’s Core 2 product line. With Phenom II AMD has significantly closed the gap. While the Phenom II packs in about double the transistors over the old Phenom, it is actually physically smaller due to the use of AMD’s 45 nm process vs. the much more mature 65 nm process. The Phenom II now comes much closer in performance to the Core 2 Quad products, the power consumption is right around where Intel is, and AMD has been able to scale the clockspeed on these parts far higher than where the original Phenom was able to go.
