Quote:How are you coming up with 50% higher clock rate?
I'm comparing them at stock clocks. Your cpu has a dynamic clock rate that cycles (there is a better word for this but I can't remember it right now) between several different P states. It's max clock rate at stock is 2.3GHz but it will never stay at that clock rate permanently because of how turbocore works (turbo boost switches to the highest available P state while turbo core cycles between two or more P states rapidly). As such you end up with a slightly lower average clock rate of around 2.1GHz when running at stock settings even if very few cores are active and cooling is adequate.
At 2.6GHz your two cpus would probably trade blows depending on the game. The highest I've ever seen llano outperform athlon II X4 by at the same clock rate is 30%, and that was in a synthetic test. Real world application performance seems to hover around 15-20% higher per clock which would put your two cpus on par at those clock rates.
Quote:So at 2ghz gamecube games run with almost no lag with 2 players and the only wii game that worked at full speed was mario kart. paper mario/brawl were still 30-40 fps. My temps range from 61 to 71, usually at 71 ( max im willing to go). How long do you suggest i oc for at 70 degrees? also will 2.3 get brawl/paper mario to work at around 70 degrees?
You should not run your cpu at 71C, period.
Edit: Dithering! That's the word I was looking for.
