What you mean like you used to do quite vociferously for years ? I was the one that argued with you that it wouldn't turn Clovertown, Tulsa etc into duds like you was spouting then ;-) Clovertown benches however show quite cleary the effects of the fsb bottleneck with scaling no better than 50% apart from SpecINTrate which is a very cache and latency bound bench. The thing about being bandwidth limited is that it stops your scaling at a specific point and nothing else will move it on after that. The Power 5 architecture shows what happens when you remove this bottleneck as the cpu is not extraordinary.
