Sandy Bridge really is faster clock for clock...

[Leaps-from-Shadows]

Comparison with CPUs set to 2.8GHz (Turbo Boost disabled)

Thanks Leaps! Good info! Any similar info on the i7s?

As if anybody here thought it was NOT faster clock for clock than Lynnfield.

I thought that was common knowledge.

It is common knowledge, but it's still nice to have independent confirmation when the CPUs are compared at the same speed. For some reason I thought there were some done at 4.0GHz from the week Sandy Bridge was released, but I haven't been able to find them.
