AMD: What clock speed to match Intel Single-threaded performance

Hello everyone,

I would really appreciate if anyone has any benchmarks to show this, I am wondering at what clock speed would an AMD CPU, probably Piledriver based, manage to match Intel's single-threaded performance of a 3.5Ghz CPU of Ivy Bridge or Haswell design.
 
Yea I know AMDs strengths. I'm not trying to suggest they are bad with this thread, while they aren't in the very high end market segment they have a lot of good processors for under $200 which are really competative, especially that FX 6300.

I am more asking this as a curious tech fan. Fun thing to speculate about. I appreciate your answers, but any way to narrow it down more? Maybe some tests, I know one group hit 8.3ghz on an A10-6800k.
Or if not, maybe some calculations based on the benchmarks done at lower clock speeds.
 
I dont know of any direct relations between current benches and single threaded performance.
Almost is not all processors that go over 6-7GHz have cores disabled, run under liquid nitrogen, and only run for a few seconds-minutes. There hasnt been one kept stable enough to benchmark, or even one long enough to load windows.
 
If it doesn't load Windows there isn't anything remotely stable about it so I would count that as an impossibility to reach.

However that one which hit 8Ghz did manage to boot though I haven't seen benchmarks from it. I'm not looking at it with the idea of building a system or trying it, just curiosity about hardware capabilities.
 
Will do, I think I will try it this weekend. See how low I can take the voltage while I am at it, make it a bit more interesting.

I'll be sure to keep you in the loop.
Oh if you might be interested I found out that an AMD Radeon 7850 some how bests a 7870 once you get it up to 1.2Ghz. Doesn't really make sense to me how since the 7870 should have more power still going by rough calculations.:
c=cores
m=Mhz
1280cx1000m=1,280,000cm/1024c =1250m

In FPS its faster though.
