With Intel's Core i7 and Nehalem processors being out and about; Intel's "next-gen" processors are already here today. AMD hasn't been sitting still, and launched the Phenom II earlier this year.

What the Phenom (and future AMD CPUs) miss the most to compete against latest Intel chips is HyperThreading.
It is much important for "Server" loads with massive number of threads, where the i7 shines.
