Max, Re: "PIII went from 1.15GHz (Max overclock) to 1.4GHz (Max tualatin overclock); Or from 1GHz (Official) to 1.2GHz (Official)."

That's a very bad example. Different steppings can make all the difference, since the most common limiting factor to frequency is speed paths. Obviously, it seems that the Northwood core has optimized speed paths far more than the Tualatin core, so you cannot compare the two. Besides, Intel's official comment prior to the .13u introduction was that it would get approximately a 65% benefit over .18u. That's 3x what AMD has just claimed for their .13u process.
