no not necessarily, the improvement from "B00 chip from May to a B02" is probably due to some important parts being turned of in the B00 (maybe L3 or even L2) - the fact that *some parts were turned off* was already stated somewhere - thus it tells us nothing about the retail barcelona.
and most agree that coolaler's results show a B01 that is going to launch on sept. 10, however we don't know if the results aren't fake.
but don't forget that gary also said this about the results:
Actually, based on the last chip we had, those numbers are in alignment with some of the results we noticed and others as well. I think they will be better than that at release and especially on a consumer board with Vista 64-bit
6 more days until we find out
