Maybe you missed the irony in the sig's comment

? It's there to remind people that AMD users are not crazy and that even an intel shill site (like AT) can point out the "phenomenon" if you can call it that way.
And AT is biased unfortunately.That's my opinion it may be wrong,but that's what I think.
I provided another source of information on the i7 vs C2Q comparison at THG since they done clock for clock comparison too.Feel free and read it ,maybe you can see why your 1Ghz higher clock speed comment is meaningless.
