So the average performance increase with those CPUs at the same base clock, but with different Turbo Boost implementations, is about 20%.
Was that 1.6G bench done with disabled turbo or with it ?

Considering how little time tick tock left with them especially compared to the belated bulldozer I would be surprised for such a performance jump, would expect that from haswell, or bulldozer with the new arch and shrink together.
