Penryn does indeed outperform AMD in many respects, but like Ray brought up here, it does ourperform Intel in some situations. That, combined with being cheaper (and liek Saren brought up, not just for the processor, but for the whole system) and the fact that we don't want Intel to be so far of AMD that they can dictate the market again, that we should all buy Phenoms.
