Being able to use 912, 960 and 1056 MHz does help with benchmarks (and 'real world' performance too) but it depends on the workload. Multithreaded workloads benefit more than single-threaded: http://openbenchmarking.org/result/16031...603105GA62

And there still is a problem with the trip points defined since when running a single threaded workload throttling starts way too early (reducing clockspeed to 1104 or even 1056 when temperatures are still ok). Next try will be to increase the first thermal treshold from 65°C to 75°C (and to switch again to optimised compiler settings since the most moronic PTS test ever -- Smallpt -- takes ages) and see what happens.
