The new athlon fx is not so good mainly due to its price point, any bench you see it is only marginally faster then the p4 yet it costs $300 more then the p4... I might also add that any 64bit cpu currently is 100% useless. Unless you are running a server there is no reason to have it on a gaming desktop. There is no windows native Desktop that is designed for 64bit computing and if your a gamer its even worse since it will be a long time till 64bit games even show up commonly on the market...
I doubt you have seen any of the bechmarks from Tom's or Anand. The 64fx is much much faster than the P4, and canterwood probably won't have much.
