AMD including hidden overclocking functionality in tri- / quad-core Phenoms?

And still they suck when it comes to overclocking. Intel CPU's easely can be OC'ed at least 20%. Until now I've reached 3870 MHz with my Wolfdale based CPU. Should easely be able to reach 4 GHz. It runs pretty cool thanks to my TRUE cooler (clicky. No fan is included. You need to buy your own fan. I bought one of Noctua). I'm pretty sure it's just the vcore. I actually lowered that from stock and after 3,6 GHz you really have to up it quite a bit.

tl;dr: Intel > AMD. Though they are a bitch.. especially with those licenses for Nehalem. But really. Good price and exellent performance. Why would anyone go for the AMD platform if they're getting themselves a new mobo + CPU? And AMD's roadmap doesn't really look very exiting either to be honest..
