The PR numbers are derived by taking the processor speed multiplied by 1.5 and subtracting 500. So the only reason the gap gets larger is because of that multiple.

Kevin, why should AMD lengthen the pipeline to get higher speeds that at the same time would lower performance? AMD still has room left in the core, all they do is lower the process size.
