In pure performance,like Jack said,Shanghai @2.7Ghz is on the level of Harpertown at 3GHz,in 2P.In 4P it should be even greater difference,but we have no data for that yet.
Performance in what scenario? What would it be like for video encoding and 3d rendering? Or maybe even things like games? It may be like that for certain performance figures, but I don't think this will really apply to most users here. I mean, what do those Spec numbers mean to the average user here?
