Thuban & Zosma info/code name from anandtech "Juicy"

[Florinmocanu]

well, don't forget that the result a Phenom II gets out is not a 4x, it's more around 3.5x, so the calculation already takes care of the 5.1-5.2x scaling.

a PhII 940 scores around 3500 score for single-threaded in R10 and if it could get a 4x increase you should get around 14000 points, but you get 12.500, so these scaling issues are already taken into account when i calculate the possible score of a Thuban.

And trust me, 3d graphics is my job, i do that for a living. I know what to expect from a 6-core Phenom II, when i read reviews i always pay carefull attention to the 3d rendering results plus i test my own cpus a lot in these apps, like Cinebench, mental ray, v-ray, blender.

I expect a 3ghz hexa-core to score around 18.5k-19.5k, depending on ram speed, whatever improvements they made to the core, HT and NB speeds etc. 25-26k should be a 4ghz result.
