Make that 2Ghz

Back in reality,on average the Bloomfield is some 20-25% faster per clock than Deneb. You can make the Mhz numbers for "needed" Deneb from Bloomfied's clocks. The thing is that Bloomfield has a higher than that (average) lead in some workloads while in other it's not so much faster or is equal or even slower in few. So what you get in the end is about 20-25%,which is a healthy lead,a similar lead over Penryn which is some 5% faster than Deneb,which in turn coincides with a rough 20% lead every new intel design brought over previous one since P4 was sent to retirement(P4 not counted as "previous").

20-25%? Since when was the i7 920/i5 750 slower than the PII 965? I'm guessing you're not counting turbo boost since it's a "cheat" huh?

Penryn only 5%? Since you love quoting Anand, read this review and get back to me.

Unlike you guys (v_rr, gosh and including yourself), I don't have an ulterior motive.
