wouldnt be surprised to see muck higher clock speeds, from amd the most. If intel continues to have better ipc, amd will have to make up for his with higher clock speeds. This is why ckips like the 4170 work. 4.2, right out of the box, will make up for poor ipc by simply doing clocks faster. As weve seen with the 4170 and 6200, amd will continue to release high stock speed chips, im think maybe 4.4 or even 4.6 ghz stock in pildriver. If they can move to 28 or 22nm by steamroller, and not pull an intel with the heatspeaders, I could see 5ghz stock chips in 3 yeays. They basicly just need to get them down to using 140watts, doable since the 4120 does 4.2 on 125. Doable with a good die shink, that is. I think intel will continue to make 3-3.5ghz cpus until the point they see that a bit better ipc dosnt matter when amd chips do more clocks (at stock, for the age joe) an, not overclocked for us) they would then will follow with 4 and 5 ghz chips in 4-5 years
