Agena – Phenom can reach 2.8 GHz
 

This will have to be sufficient for AMD for fight Intel's soon to arrive Core 2 Quad Extreme QX6850 with FSB 1333 and 3 GHz clock.

Agena at 2.8 GHz has to beat this CPU and we know that clock by clock K10 wins over Core 2 Duo but Penryn 45 marchitecture will enable some high clocks beyond 3 GHz, at least to 3.5 GHz if not even higher and AMD wont be able to fight it with the current clocks or it is going to get very tough for AMD.

The real question will be if they can supply enough chips early enough.

Speculations, I want some real benchmarks, real life apps,....

lets wait for none beta samples first:)
