You say nobody is quite sure yet, then you ask to arbitrarily increase the values to find values that are close to the prior stepping/revision.
My answer?
Uh, no, I don't have to do that. I can easily tell by just testing the differential between a 6600 L630A and this new chip. I installed stock coolers, then set the values both to 8 X and ramp up the FSB to 450. Then I tested the warmth outputted with a digital thermal readout. The L630A is definitely warmer than this new one. For my two processors tested, it is greater than 10C and I can only speak to my two tested processors. Time will tell, but your method makes no real scientific sense.
Add 15C arbitrarily? That makes no sense unless you knew for sure the values of differentiation. You do not so what you say makes no sense and no sense = nonsense.
That is not to say that there is not a differential. Just that your arbitrarily chosen offset is not scientific or proven whatsoever.
