I'm looking for just a comparison of the AMD's clock speeds over the last several generations. I have tried several searches but am coming up with nothing. How does the clock for clock speed compare from the s939 up to AM3? All else equal (not taking the ram and chipset speed difference) have the AMD cpu's really gotten faster in any significance? As there is no point in comparing the first quad core and the latest so if you take the first dual core the FX-60 and add 3mb L3 cache and clock it at 3.1Ghz would it compare pretty close to the latest dual core the PII 550 all else being equal?
