But this doesn't change the fact that they have the same IPC.
compare the highest scores of 1156 and 1366... there is a pretty huge gap, not just 5% or 10%...

well thats rather a hint that the extra vcc and vss pins dont really matter all that much, doesnt it?

no, i agree, you were right, the ipc at stock clocks is about the same for 1156 and 1366... what i meant is that you seem to really enjoy pointing out that i was wrong

thats still a bit ahead... 10 core, 4 channel will come in q2 a far as i know. and yes, there are already plans for dual socket highend boards... seem like evgas sr2 has motivated intel to bring skulltrail back to live
i really dont see the point in a 20 core 40 thread 8 channel highend platform though when its hard to find a game that uses more than 3 threads and scales with more than 2 channels... actually most games barely scale when you go from single to dual channel, hah...

for crunchers who want plenty of cores sb will be interesting, same goes for servers... i just really really hope the dualcore mobile sb chips wont dissapoint... mobile clarkdales offer better performance than culv but you lose 1-2h battery life, which for me just isnt worth it...
