re: Nope, no *Barcelona* has been demoed at 3GHz, let alone shipped

Please explain to me the difference between a Barcelona die and a Phenom die.


It is rumored that some of the issues that stop Barcelona
from running at its intended clock speed are related
to SMP cache coherency.

If the rumors are correct, there's a big difference
between a sellable 3Ghz Phenom and a sellable
3Ghz Barcelona 2xxx chip.

Benchmarks? Well, if you want to see 2 chip spec rate,
there may be a big difference between Phenom and Barcelona
dies that are willing to hit 3Ghz.
