How's Thuban 1090T better in price/performance when it loses in majority of tests to low end Core i7? You can always choose some highly multithreaded apps (that the average user has no idea about, ie. Cinema studio, POV-RAY, etc.) to try to skew your argument, but higher ipc trumps frequency/cores in every other scenario, including gaming, encoding, and even in some multithreading scenarios. The all-round better chip is clearly budget i7, with it's robust power-saving features. Thuban is only useful for some specific apps, and even there the difference is negligible to budget i7.
