That way one will miss the most important point of the article!!!

They clearly say in the text that the Athlon 64 is a development version
clocked only at 1.2 GHz while AMD will ship with 2 GHz.  So you have to
multiply all (POV-Ray) results by 1.6 and not jump to conclusions based on
raw numbers without knowing the context!
