Whatever these alleged scores and speeds are...won't really matter in the long run. Prelease results always look like minced meat when put against what happens several months into the product cycle, when the parts start getting really pushed by the community. This is the case with all the prerelease scores that we're seeing. Just the way it is...with every new generation of CPU. Just remember when we were marvelling at 3.6GHz Conroe under single stage for example, and then look at how far it wound up.
