Even using linux, where the performance difference is minimal, there are noticeable differences in performance between the 1055T and the Core i7 920. Compilation time for software is still faster on the 920 (5-7%), and sequence alignment using indexing and a Wheeler-Burrows algorithm is still faster (about 8% or so, software is called Bowtie for those interested). The 1055T is no slouch for sure, but it isn't a complete 920 killer in every instance either. Programs I've coded do in fact run faster on the 1055T, but it all depends on what your doing.
