Because you tend to get farther for SuperPi (single-threaded benchmark) and CPUz with two cores disabled.

Nope, not priaising the chip for doing that; just the clock speeds at which it did it. See the section above regarding SuperPi:
Were I to praise a chip for SP1M results on ambient cooling rather than just the clocks at which it completes the bench, it would probably be one that does less than 6.7 seconds.

Okay, fair enough. I might have read too much into what you wrote. Still, as i'm sure you're all too aware, clock speed alone doesn't count for much if it's being outperformed by a three year old part clocked 200Mhz lower.
Very nice SP1M, by the way. 5.5Ghz isn't half bad, either

Even five years ago (before C2D) when every Intel in sight was being kicked to the curb by the AMD Opteron the AMD's still didn't run SuperPi as fast as the Intels did. You can't judge a CPU but it's performance in one benchmark unless that's the only thing you're going to do with it.Okay, fair enough. I might have read too much into what you wrote.
