I would like to see some 3D Studio,Lightwave ,Maya etc. numbers.Also some head on comparisons with enc./decod. using optimal compiler tweaks for each uarch(Core2,K10,Nehalem).
You know,the real stuff people actually use.WCG ppd also counts in too.
Then head over to anandtech, they tested 3dsm SPECapc and Intel improved ~42% there compared to core 2. I hope you trust their numbers.
