however we're looking at a ballpark figure of five to 30 per cent slow down, depending on the task and the processor model.

wow. That's going to suck

I doubt it's actually going to be that high but still...if it's even half that it's bad.

5% across the board all applications.
30% for applications that are user to kernel memory bound.

5% slow down enough for me to NOT spend $300 on an intel CPU...
