generally, logical cores doesn't scale linearly as physical core should.
4+4 920, should score ~16,000, - triple that .

btw, seems the Xeons aren't optimized for Pi calculations,
4.5 920, gives a better score then a 12 core Xeon @~the same speed ,
and that's for 1 X5650
SuperPi - 9sec 0ms - Brolloks (OC Forums) - (Intel Xeon X5650 @4323MHz

seems like not all cores are being utilized.
SP1m is single threaded and your right, not as good as a 920 with higher memory speed.. This was more max clocks but I'll tell you straight, getting into the 8's at 4500MHz is for me a thrill!
