Oo new review I didn't see yet: 12% increase, but since I'm @3.2Ghz, that's a 50% increase! Juicy. And yes my single-threaded performance is the one I focus on

  Ok, then I suggest you sift through more closely. More and more apps & games are leveraging multi-core (more than most people realize), so the charts in the link I included are an amalgamation of single-threaded and multi-threaded programs, which is how Tom's tries to put together their "real world" indexes.

  3.2? My FX-8320 runs at 4.8ghz. Even if single threaded isn't improved, the headroom for a higher clock is there, thus giving overall better performance.

    But you are probably pulling 160+ watts do accomplish that. On modern Intel parts, you can push 4.5 around 120 - 130. That means significantly less cooling requiremenets, so you could stick the chip in a smaller chassis, etc.
