3GHz Opteron breaks 2,000 on SPECint

AMD has managed to obtain enough Opteron processors in the 2xx and 8xx configurations that it now has a 3GHz version, and these 256 and 856 parts are yielding some really desirable performance! We find that some recently submitted SPEC2000 scores were submitted using a Tyan Thunder K8SD Pro (S2882-D), and the results are significant. For the first time ever, a single-CPU system has been able to break the 2,000 barrier on SPECint, scoring an impressive 2,043. The SPECfp score was even better at 2,365.

To put this in perspective, Intel's highest 3.8GHz Pentium 4 670 numbers are 1,863 and 2,091 from a Precise Workstation 380, with the highest P4 955 numbers being 1,713 and 2,006.

Any comment?
What would happen with headlines of many hardware sites if Intel would be able to do it? However, at this moment I haven't noticed even single one.
But,Intel's future chips will win for sure! I swear they will, Intel told me so !!!!
