Well look who is giving the explaination, a SUNW spokesman, whose job it is to put the best case forward. You can bet that one or more of the SPECfp tests degraded by 5%. I'd also be willing to bet that one can also easily construct a test case that would lose a lot more that 5%.

And regarding your comment:

Like as if a 950MHz chip was clocked at only 902MHz.

Like SUNW even has a processor that can run at 950MHz, or even at 902MHz, Hah!
