And to think, Alpha EV7z peaked at 1.3 GHz, and a top-binned Itanium Poulson, err, Kittson peaked at 2.66 GHz, and here an old and slow i5 is now well past both at 3.4 GHz. (Yes, I am well aware of the perils of comparing clock speeds across disparate architectures, but thanks for mentioning that.)
