FX-8150 (3.6/4.2 GHz) 20.8 / 25.7
X6-1100T (3.3/3.7 GHz) 25.0 / 32.2

In the most widely used and accepted industry standard benchmark, it clearly shows how BD has significantly lower IPC than K10.5 despite a 300-500MHz advantage.
Autoparallel FAIL for ICC actually. It doesn't seem to work well for more than 4 cores (i7-3960X loses significantly to i7-2700K in lots of tests). They definitely should run it with OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 for FX8150 and set core affinity accordingly to "first cores in module". But it is Intel and I don't think they have intention to make AMD processor look good.
And comparing SSE3 code for AMD and AVX code for Intel is totally irrelevant.
