Anand is a smart Man. Why he's suggesting this is a clk/clk comparison when he's telling us on page 1 Turbo is enabled I don't know.

It's actually showing a 22% faster clock/clock in CB11.5 if you normalize the scores to frequency. most of these benches scale almost linear with freq.. enough to adjust the 10% or so required.

Cinebench R10 core speedup on the 4C/4T SB, @ 3.56x is consistant with no Turbo mode, or at least no thread dependant Turbo mode.

( Core i5 760 has a 3.36x speedup. Phenom II has ~3.6 )

Does anyone know if the Phtoshop filters use any SSE?
