Well, you're putting it up against i7's and Xeons. AMD just isn't present in that range so getting their second-most-powerful CPU doesn't say much about absolute performance. However, it's still quick and I think it lands just where it should be on that list. The only unusual thing is the fact that 3.5 GHz ended better than 4.0 GHz. Shows that higher clock rates do not always improve performance when cooling isn't very good.
