Still that's like 10% clock difference only though, for a next gen CPU architecture the SB is still somewhat dissappointing from an IPC point of view. Power efficiency is brilliant though but I personally care more about the performance part. :p With OC benefit taken into account there's still a decent around 28~35% gain though, obviously only comparing with aircooling and looks like SB @ 4.8 ~ 5.0GHz or so might not draw more power than Lynnfield or Bloomfield at 4.0~4.2GHz or possibly slightly less even, haven't seen how it scales with voltage increase so quite difficult to predict.





4.2ghz gives it the same cpu score in Vantage as 4.6ghz on my 920.
