Not even close to being the same. Only a few folks thought 3GHz would be the norm for Barcelona, while most folks think 2.66GHz Nehalem is way under clocked. Intel showed 3.2GHz and sent out 2.66GHz ES models. The first Conroe ES processors showed up at 2.66GHz so there's nothing that's not routine here.

Oh BTW, I learned a long time ago to NOT doubt MovieMan.
