you'll see in very multi-threaded applications (like compression or encoding) the AMD CPU actually keeps pace with the 2600k; Er, no it doesn't. In integer limited operations, such as winzip it keeps up. In anything using floating point, its 20% slower at least. At AAC encoding its nearly twice as slow!
