Intel i9 3,8Ghz 6 cores - 12 threads:
32M - 4.9 sec
1024 - 140.814 sec

I think it's quite impressive.
If this could be pared up with better oc, some good ddr3, few ssd's, 58xx it would be overclockers dream
Here is the screenshot for intel cpu

I suppose that AMD's result was obtained on dual-cpu platform, so actually there were 24 threads, not 12. Also Core i9 is not a competitor to Magny Cours since i9 is a desktop CPU and probably will at least twice cheaper then a cheapest Magny Cours (without considering matherboard prices). Nehalem-EX (8 cores, 4 channel mem, 24MB L3) is a direct competitor of Magny Cours.
Still new AMD platform has very good bandwidth per socket with its 4 mem channels.
