Re: there are many benches where K8 is > 20-30% better than K7

And there are benches where you'll see a rather large benefit to the IMC. But not on average. The enhancement to the front end, SSE engine, execution pipeline, etc that I've mentioned before have a measurable contribution in the cases where the K8 is 30% ahead of the K7.
