I'm having a hard time believing CPU's got many many times more powerful in such a short space of time.

Syntetic Benchmarks are wortheless, however the X2 processors are a long way behind Core2 and even further I7 clock for clock.

Most Syntechtic benchmarks take into account all cores, so a dual core will be like half the score of a quad, and in real performance terms thats basically garbage of course accept in crunching. I do believe we are starting to see the point where dual cores below 3Ghz are starting to bottleneck some high end GPU's slighlty in a few games at high resolutions, but they still have life left in them yet.
