Problem here is Phenom is gonna carry AMD through next year. That means they are competing against Penryn, not current quads.
AMD should price this current range of chips much lower than it is now, if they wants to remain somewhat competitive. Penryn will be 45nm, cheaper fab and faster. I mean, they can't afford to wait around till intel cuts their price for them to start doing something about their own (AMD) price.
Of course there's a limit to how low the price can be before they goes into deficit. But I believe they can do better with the price.
