With Phenom II, AMD appears to have created its own honest Penryn competitor - the Q9400 and the X4 940 are in a virtual tie for performance. The Phenom II X4 920 and the Q9300 are close, meaning that it should be a bit faster than the Q8300.
Cinebench R10
Both Phenom II models are very competitive in the Cinebench when comparing price points, but still trail the Intel Core 2 processors slightly on a clock per clock basis.

I have been looking through forum sites for hours. This is the most complete answer I have managed to get so far. Just to make things clear: I am using an AM2+ motherboard and it supports some AM3 processors and says so in the manual. What I am confused on is the memory I will have to use with it. If I use my old AM2+ mb and put a AM3 cpu in there, do I need to run DDR2 or DDR3? I would like to use my old memory for a while to defer the cost of the processor upgrade.
