The SSE part of the core has changed negligibly .Where is the widened(256bit) SSE logic?How did it fit inside the same die area?
you must have really good eyes if you can see the SSE and AVX units.

it's easier to claim double pumping like you have but do you realize that the logic required to reach those clock speeds would be 50% more and use 3-10x more power? also did you know that RTL code cant even reach those clocks so you have to custom design millions of transistors?
