Intel - AMD clock relativity theory
Intel's 3Ghz + 12MB cache server against 2 Ghz 2MB Barcelona. Intel's 3,4 Ghz + 6MB desktop against 3 Ghz Phenom. Plus 45nm inside . Seems like pretty expensive way to counter EFFICIENT K10h architecture. And if Nehalem doesn't hit its target in one shot, that will bring Intel into the troubles. Because 3Ghz server consumes 120W TDP, and 3,4Ghz desktop is already in clock diminishind return area like ill fated Prescott was.
