I'm a big AMD fanboy.
This baby doesn't slaughter Core2, leaving only a bloody mist, but it does bring AMD back into the race again. In some cases, it's spanking Intel, but not all.
Performance per Watt is looking VERY nice for Barcelona. Large data centers will love this thing.

The wattage interests me. I just finished installing (and am now running the acceptance testing) a 126 node (plus several nodes for login, IO, and graphics) cluster that utilizes the quad core Intel chips (Clovertown).
This machine puts out temps of 135 F running at 100%. The wattage blew a few circuit breakers as well, so we had to update the electrical system.
I'd be interested to see what the temps on the back of a machine like this would be if it were running the Barcelona chips...
