THE UNQUESTIONABLE scoop of the day is at OCW. site has a comparison
review of the Phenom II X4 940 vs. the QX 9770 vs. the Core i7 940. tests show the Phenom II to be very competent and, above all, it doesn't break the bank. In most games it'll equal the Core i7 940, but trail the QX 9770. Overclocking is also very good, as you can get some good overclocks (~800MHz) on air with this Phenom II. Considering it costs half of what costs the i7 and a quarter of a QX 9770, things might be looking up for AMD... we can 'ardly wait for those DDR3 versions of the Phenom II.

and yes the core i7 is faster but not buy a lot. is it worth the price?
and yes they compare it to the i7 940 not the 920
