lynnfield has the exact same performance as bloomfield, there are only very very few apps where the additional bandwidth helps bloomfield... get your facts right.
you linked a bad comparison to make your point, ended up reinforcing saaya's instead

The i7 870 has a higher Turbo freq (3.6 vs 3.2Ghz) , and not all those tests are fully multithreaded.. ones that are do show a few percent on avg higher performance on Bloomfield :p
