The AM2+ version? Competes with Core 2 Quatro and Nehelem. HIGH END, NON-MOBILE CONSUMER COMPUTERS. Ie. for gamers. Do you have any clue how much faster it is compared OMAP3? That it serves an entirely different goal than OMAP3? Like I put forth in my previous post...? AMD required an answer to Nehalem and Intel's quad core E-series. The Phenom II (AM2+, later AM3) is just that.

Nor the other way around. They serve an entirely different goal.

You can compare a netbook with a laptop. You can compare a mobile phone with a tablet. They still serve a different goal, but they're more alike. They overlap. A desktop or a server and a NIT hardly overlap...

One does not need a Phenom II to do web browsing, VoIP, and such. A gamer who plays e.g. CoD can do this with his Phenom II easily, but its not the reason he bought a Phenom II. There are small embedded devices for that using VIA Nano, AMD Geode, or some embedded or SoC CPU/arch which can be used for such nice purposes. There are nice machines which normally use 1 or 2 W such as CherryPal. And, ofcourse, ARM-based platforms. Including OMAP3.

Next time, please compare it to a Cray. We'll have more fun laughing at such jokes...
