unless the cache in unlinked from the processors, an increase in switching speed should result in a rather linear increase in overall CPU performance. Whether or not the memory subsystem and the system bus scales well enough is a different matter but hey highend DDR3 + a well OCed HTT bus probably scales well enough as compared to mid-highend DDR2 and a traditional 2GT/s HTT bus
