u're rite.. i searched it online. all phenoms have identical spec (exept the cache memory), and they all use this chip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_K10
phenom II x3 for example have 3 of those chip (1 disabled), phenom II x4 have 4, phenom II x6 have 6.. but its the same processor.
so if more cores are not used, like withdolphin, there is no perfomance diff. per core at all betwenn a phenom 2 and phenom 6. at the same clock (3.2ghz phenom2 = 3.2ghz phenom 6 when just use two cores)
but clocks is not so simple with, core 2 duo and i7 core.. bcoz they are massively different. not same chip, architecture, memory controller etc.. all is changed.
See? I do know what I'm talking about.
Back from the grave and working on textures.
