YB, Re: so far we have only this September test where Prescott is about 3% faster than Northwood.

Actually, that table demonstrates a CPU that is slower than Northwood, on a clock for clock basis. I hope that some of the non-synthetic benchmarks show a different picture. It would be bad news for Intel if they have to rely completely on clock frequency to be competitive with AMD.
