Multi-threaded games do benefit from Phenom, some benches did give these chips an edge over dual-core chips.

Hi,
Thats nice to hear
I'm just curious, what motherboard do you have? Tell us when you get it
Oh god. 3Dmark points dont mean shit. If you made a PC for any reason, its for gaming, am I right? What the hell difference does it make if you have 22k 3dmark score and suck ass at all your games.
Gods are made through gaming, not 3Dmarks.

I'm quite a big AMD fanboy but I haven't bought Phenom yet and I haven't bought a quad core yet because I don't want another intel. I'll be honest I'm probably stupid in being soo biased but I think I'll hold my reservation until Deneb/790FX combo is benched against Nehalem/X58 combo .

Nehalem/X58 already won. Buy it. Deneb at best could challenge a Yorkfield (upto Q9550) in pure performance.

You mean the X58 Extreme MBs being showed off?
They aren't true 16-phase as we commonly understand, nope. I can't recall any MB more than 12-phase at most ATM.
I found more MBs supporting AM2+ PSI Spec. Although slightly renamed, it is no other than Jetway who probably has the best and most consistent overall AM2+ lineup this year.
Jetway calls it GPI: http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/gpi.asp
MBs that support it: http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/gpi.asp#
Just to demystify the market-speak; Voltage Transfer Rate = EfficiencyThough with so many power-saving molds available, there is still demand for extra phases to cope with the high electrical current required when a CPU run at high frequency, so as to better disperse heat and enhance voltage transfer rate (most of the manufacturers use 3~5 phases and one-phase CPU NB power for current AMD AM2+ CPU ). We might as well take the 125W CPU HD985ZXAJ4BGH-the one with utmost power consumption- as an example to illustrate CPU power transformation. When this CPU works at its highest frequency of 2500MHz, its core voltage/current of is 1.300V/80.1A. However, when CPU runs at its lowest frequency of 1250MHz, the core voltage/current of CPU is 1.050V 39.4~8.06 A. We can see that the previous power consumption is almost 12300% of the latter, but the motherboards can not fully reach this goal in consumption differentia in reality, because of voltage transfer rate.
The common one-phase PWM can realize about 85% voltage transfer rate when loaded 5~20A, with optimal transfer rate when loaded at around 13A and a drop in transfer rate after 20A. However, when running at current under 5A, PWM voltage transfer rate drops dramatically, even under 50%. Jetway utilizes G.P.I technology to enhance voltage transfer rate under low frequency and low electrical current circumstances. The green power indicator will automatically turn off when CPU workload is heavy and turn on when CPU workload is light to indicate power saving mold being activated.
12300% = they meant ~1230%
Check out what current/voltage uses they gave as maximum for the 9850BE they tested, in idle and load
Max. Load Stock = 104.13W
Idle = ~ 8.463W to 41.37W
They also make it clear to you the obvious - when 1-phase has 5A or lower being drawn the efficiency of the power conversion is below 50%.
Imagine we had the tools they did and I measured the 0.45v 452MHz we achieved in CnQ oc... or the 0.4v 100MHz
UPDATE
I played about with an AM2+ PSI supporting MB+9850 BE: http://www.ocxtreme.org/forumenus/showpost.php?p=52709&postcount=260

It doesn't matter that we can still use Phenom on older sockets mobo, because we can't use it at full-potential anyway. For all users who bought the 790FX mobo with SB600, they are stucked with a mobo that can't OC the Phenom at its best. Like, I am, an ASUS M2N32 AM2 mobo.
At first, I ignored people's advices, I bought an Phenom 9750, and an Zalman CNPS 9700NT cooler for it (total 270 usd). With that money, I could have move to Intel, I felt like they scammed me, an 215USD CPU that can't even perform on bar or better than a Q6600 (195usd).
