AMD Barcelona CONFIDENTIAL 2,3 Ghz projected performance

AMD Phenom X2 GE at 2,3 Ghz; 45W TDP, socket AM2+, HT3 3200 Mhz?
Its main rival is Athlon X2 at 2,7 Ghz. Seems that Phenom is in
average 14% faster on the clock to clock basis. However, with 2MB L3 enlarged core, 14% is not some breakthrough to me.
Though 45W TDP definitely is. Using single core it will not consume more than 25W.
Enough for mobile use, that is on unstoppable rise.

They claim FP and DB superiority.
Howerver, AMD will need faster versions 2+ Ghz of Opteron, due out only in the fourth quarter, to do damage to Intel , the lastest channel register recon finds.


But, isn't fat ass 6MB L3 in 45nm the sign of diminishing processor returns, like at the Intel, or a neat signature of the stellar high performance?
