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.

So basically you're telling me that a 2ghz Barcelona would have the same L3 cache latency (any cache latency for that fact) as a 3ghz Barcelona? Thanks for helping out with this stuff, it's interesting.
