Talking about perfomance scale. I've made some numbers of perf scale with techreport review (I've only jumped synthetic and useless crap Sandra). Here we go:



Well, it seems Barcelona scales clearly better than Clovertown (18.61% of 25% or 74.44% of 100% in Barcelona side; 18.23% of 28.76% or 63.40% of 100% in Clovertown side). So, it scales about 11% more than Clovertown.

Now the evident question: Is it because Barcelona 2.5ghz is B2 and Barcelona 2.0ghz is B1? or, is it simply because Barcelona scales better than Clovertown? here's the question. Someone?
