JJ is right.

Even though it's very sweet of justhefax to "normalize" the results, his calculations say exactly nothing.

A calculation that would come closer, is to first find out the scaling co-efficient for those benchmarks with a "normal" Agena (compare 2.3 to 2.7 performance to see how well it scales) and then use those coefficients to track back how the shanghai would do at 2.3 Ghz.

All in all this looks to be very promising. We allready knew amd would not get performance crown any time soon, but it seems that at this point, they could be taking the perf/watt crown back from intel.
