That just shows that 400mhz on cpu matters alot in Cinebench! I have no dobut that a Penryn isn't but ~7% faster than a Kents at the same clockspeeds.

You can see in CPUZ that 3333 for me is still stock voltage(although the limit of quad prime stability), so I would be more concerned about if Penryn can bench 3dmark @ 4100 mhz on great air or water (essentially the dual core speeds!)
