Reason i7 975 absent from graphs of lynnfield benchmarks?

Simply put, there would be no point to it. Lynnfield isn't supposed to compete with top-end i7's. The point of the comparison is to see how it stacks up against the top-end Phenom II's and Core2's, as well as the entry level i7-920. The 975 blows everything else out of the water, so why skew the charts by including it?
 
where is i7 975 in the graphs here:
Intel Core i5 And Core i7: Intel’s Mainstream Magnum Opus

The i7 975 Extreme Edition is way out of the price range of all of those chips. I highly doubt people who are looking at buying a Lynnfield are really trying to decide between those units and a $1000+ i7 975. You see the Phenom II X4s and such in there as they are in the same price as the Lynnfields.
