Phenom 9900: 2.6GHz quad core from AMD - can it take on Core 2 Quad's head to head?

We published our Phenom 9600 review at the end of November; but in this industry, nothing stands still. Since then, AMD has been kind enough to send us a Phenom 9900 reviewer's kit, and today, we will see how it stacks up.

The kit included:
Phenom 9900 2.6GHz Quad Core Processor
AMD heatpipe heatsink (same as before)
Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe Motherboard
a pair of Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 5-5-5-15 modules

For our stock speed testing, we used the kit as it was sent to us, however for our overclocking tests, we switched to a Noctua NH-U 12, one of our favorite CPU coolers.

If you've read our Phenom 9600 Review, you will remember that I reviewed it from the perspective of someone who might want to upgrade an existing AM2 dual core system - and I found it to be a decent upgrade.

With the speed increase to 2.6GHz I decided to compare the Phenom 9900 to the previously reviewed Phenom 9600, and to two Intel quad core processors at their stock speeds.
The Core 2 Quad QX6700 runs at 2.66GHz at stock speed, and I suspect that AMD will price the Phenom 9900 below the QX6700's current $949 price tag.
The Xeon X3210 runs at 2.13GHz at stock speed, and is an excellent performer, currently selling for $247
update: A reader pointed out that the Core 2 Quad E6700 running at 2.66GHz is available for $560

According to the rumour mill, the Phenom 9900 may be priced around the $350 mark - which while above the Xeon X3210's price, is WELL below the price of the QX6700.

Now that we have a B2 stepping of the Phenom 9900 to test (yes, it has the TLB bug) let's see how it compares to both a less expensive 2.13GHz Xeon X3210 and a more expensive, basically same clock rate, Core 2 Quad Extreme QX6700!

Prossesor baru dari intel dengan 8 inti prossesor dengan kekuatan 2.95Mhz dan 2.6Mhz per prossesor, sangat cepat dan stabil begituberita yang dilansir oleh pihak intel, memang prossesor ini diperuntukan untuk para pengguna yang memmerlukan tenaga extra untuk pekerjaan dengan multi aplikasi yang dikerjakan diwaktu yang bersamaan, tapi kayaknya untuk di indonesia saat ini belum bisa menikmati kekuatan dari prossesor tersebut karena belum ada informasi mengenai akan dikeluarkan kekawasan asia saat ini.
