I noticed that Newegg is now listing the Richland CPUs by their "Turbo" clocks, and not by their base clocks.
I also noticed, that in some of their literature, both Intel and AMD are now listing their turbo clocks first, if they list both of them, and sorting the list by performance, by their turbo clocks.
I suppose that this was inevitable. I mean, after all, most DVD-RW and Blu-Ray drives are listed by their "max" speeds, and not actual speeds. Why shouldn't CPUs be listed that way too?
Coming up, "K" and "Black Edition" CPUs start being listed with "max" clocks, with something ridiculous like LN2 clock speeds for that chip.
