So like I said, no change in performance. Right... like you said, 1 = 0. Brilliant. sAM2 is >10% clock/clock right there. Add on another speedgrade, and that's 17%. Without 4MB of L3. And add about 10% for SLI instead of Crossfire, the former performing much better with AMD processors than the latter. +7%. Now add 4MB L3 for, say, 10%. +17%.
