"Q9650 per clock wins by 1.1%,within margin of error" means that instead of 4.05Ghz ,the score for Q9650 at 4Ghz would be ~5958pts which is 5958/5846=~1.9% better than Phenom II at the same 4Ghz clock (I made a mistake,wrote 1.1% vs 1.9% -still practically the same score). The scaling with clock is 97% for Phenom II,going from 3Ghz to 4Ghz in CPU subtest of 3dmar06.The L3 speed seems to play less of a role here.
