the point I was making is that there are a lot of assumptions there.

re: [sarcasm]I assumed you and others here are familiar with the concept of overclocking....[sarcasm]

don't extend your sarcasm to others. :-)) I am far less familiar with the concept than the average poster in this neighborhood :-))

re: so the actual clock-for-clock performance difference would be even higher

[sarcasm]really? I would not have guessed[/sarcasm] Of course, the point was that clock for clock comparison is somewhat limited .... P4 would really suck in clock-for-clock comparison.....

re: Of course we all know that frequency <> performance.

eh? I thought that is the reason for relative performance benchmarks to begin with.....

re: Or is a 0-5% performance increase more realistic?

am2 would have only marginal performance benefits if any but 1% here 1% there may reduce [sarcasm]performance advantage of non-existing cpu over current amd and intel offerings[/sarcasm] :-))

re: Not many assumptions here

on the contrary, it is still all assumptions at this point. Conroe 2 duo is not yet released.....
