K10 Scores starting to surface

[CoW]8(0)]

That's definitely interesting. I guess I'm so used to seeing "linear" scaling, that I didn't give it much thought. It will definitely be cool to see otherwise with K10.

Just a guess here concering SuperPI. Is it possible that we'll see non linear scores due to the L3 cache having decreased latency as the core clock scales higher or is the latency always the same, no matter what the core is clocked at?

You're thinking in the time domain again. The number of clock cycles for code to execute will always be the same regardless of how long those clock cycles are.

So to answer your question, no. It will not affect the scaling.
