a 6 core Thuban at 3ghz will beat the 920/860 (they revolve around 16-17k in cinebench 10)

I suspect around 20k in Cinebench 10, which is around what a I7 975 gets out.

a 6 core thuban at 3ghz will be a serious competitor in multithreaded apps.

Only the westmere cpus will be able to beat it, but at a much higher price tag.
Are you forgetting the fact that the 920/860 will do 4GHz easy? C3 965s aren't as hot as C2s but they are still hot enough that adding 2 more cores makes me wonder if you'll be able to not be thermally limited in overclocking. I guess we'll see what happens when the chips become available
