I am talking about IPC, I guess I should have been clearer, but I would hardly be shocked if a 3 Ghz Deneb isn't 20% faster than a 2.6 Ghz Phenom.
Isn't 2.6Ghz the fastest available stock speed?
I suspect hitting 4 gig will be notably less common than it is for Penryn Quads.
That is quite a perverse interpretation you got going for yourself there.
Bulldozer will be a new architecture, not Deneb.
