Joe, Re: "These comparisons are always difficult, since they involve performance scaling that is lower than clock speed scaling. For example, 2.2 GHz Northwood is not 10% faster than 2 GHz Northwood."

Exactly my point. This is what makes me skeptical to marketing graphs that show Hammer getting >4x improvement over a 1GHz Athlon. There is simply no justification that it will be that much.

Re: "The performance scaling is reflected in model #s."

If this were true, then scaling would be superlinear, and you just got finished saying that it's not. model numbers have been increasing by 100 for every 67MHz of frequency. That does *not* reflect true performance.
