Here's a little teaser....

Just a little follow up to this:

Just comparing E6420 and E6660, that have the same 25% clock diference.

Quake 4: - 7%
Unreal Tournament - 7,8%
Fear - 5,5%
Mpeg Encoding - 7,7 %
H.264 Enconding - 9,5 %
Cinebench 9.5 - 11,3 %
POV Ray 3.7 - 10.9 %

Tired of proving the point, more here:

Pretty obvious that at higher speeds K10 will be more competitive against c2d then at lowers speeds...

So where's the lie, and who's sold on what?

E6420 is 2.13GHz. E6600 is 2.4GHz 12.7% difference. lol.

Out of a possible 25/25, AMD achieves 15/25 or 60% clock scaling. Intel achieves average of 8.5 scaling from above. 8,5/12.7 is 67% clock scaling.
