Reminds me to be sad that Bulldozer got delayed.

Then again, Sandy Bridge blows current AMD out of the water and Ivy Bridge is shaping up to be more of the same ... don't really know what to expect from Bulldozer anymore.

Since you can't even overclock the i3-2100, I'm not so sure how 4.0Ghz wouldn't be better than the i3's 3.1Ghz. In some cases, I could see where the i3 has it's advantages (handles single-threaded applications better). But overall, I prefer the Phenom II (better for multi-threaded applications).

Clearly, more GHz is always better.

From a gaming perspective, the i3-2100 wins out except maybe against an OCd 975 (otherwise, they're pretty close). And, at $85, any of the higher end Phenom IIs aren't bad (965 to 975, really) but if it was like a 950 or something? Meh. Though, I'd need to check if there was any actual difference in the chips besides base clock.

All that said, I don't think you even play that many recent games so it's not like it matters all in the end. $85 is a good price on the Phenom II, was just more at the whole Sandy Bridge being 10x more expensive when they're the same price range.
