the article is complete crap.. I have seen more reports saying 50% increases across the board.

 

edit: even the rumors that Nahalem wont overclock for crap is crap.

I doubt that since intel has said that there will be around 10-20% increase clock for clock. Regardless of this, Nahalem wont make a significant difference for games until the industry starts taking advantage of multicores. Even then it wont matter significantly since games are currently GPU limited, in most cases.
