Well it was about that fast. Just it launched at 2.3GHz when Athlon 64 X2 was at 3.0GHz, and when Intel's stuff was 50% faster than the Athlon 64 X2 per clock per core. Unfortunate timing on AMD's part really - how could they know Intel would come out with something twice as fast as their previous generation with lower power and smaller die size, practically overnight?
