Of course then you'll still see the "clock per clock" argument. But that was not valid even when it was first brought up.

You must compare chips that COST about the same. Period. If one is clocked slower... WHO CARES. Does one chip beat the other. Answer yes or no now. DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION.

Especially when one overclocks more than the other; to the point that any "clock per clock" argument means absolutely nothing. What can the PHII do versus the Q9550 on good cooling.

Sorry I am into my cups tonight. But I still can't swallow the tripe we are fed by some of these people.
I don't see what you would need to apologise for in respect of the above text.

What you have said here is perfectly reasonable.
