It will "only" be 5-10% faster in IPC. Remember, its mainly just a dumb dieshrink with SSE4+50% more cache+Radix+Supershuffle.
For the heat part, I dont think you can rely on those numbers. Also Intel demoed 3.33ghz and run around with 3.2Ghz Quads at crysis and some warcraft3 stuff etc with those. And they use a stock cooler. BIOS thermal sensor numbers for the CPU is a lottery event. Voltage dont seem to be so wrong tho. But could change. 1.2V I presume vs current 1.35V
