If you haven't noticed,we are all speaking about server workloads here,not desktop.Shanghai is a server part,after all... As for desktop,we simply don't know what kind of perf. over even Agena new 45nm chip will offer.We simply have to wait a bit longer to see.What it will bring to desktop for sure is 3 things: higher stock clocks-2.8/3Ghz in Dec,much lower power draw and much higher OCing.These 3 factors are equally important as IPC is,so Deneb if priced right will be a very good desktop chip.Oh and you can guess even now it's not going to be slower than Agena...
