Before we all find out CuMine's performance, let's agree on what the word "faster" means:

1. top speed (MHz) shipping in volumes, or
2. top announced speed

Regarding benchmarks, what does faster mean:

1. faster on SpecInt and SpecFP benchmarks (don't care about others)
2. faster on others (don't care about Spec)
3. faster on all or "most" of the benchmarks

I think that the MHz issue is difficult since almost anything can be announced and that's what the argument there tends to focus on. Regarding benchmarks, what is the consensus about "faster"

What I mean is: do you really think that CuMine can beat Athelon on ANY benchmark... even SOME benchmark... certainly not MOST...
