Michael, I ran your phoronix test on my Core 2 Quad Q9550: http://global .phoronix-test-suite.com/index.php?k=profile&u=nikolay-16115-4413-8672
I just ordered my core i7 upgrade - i7 920 2.66GHz. I will post results with it as soon as I get the parts and get my box upgraded. The Core 2 Quad beats your core i7 results, but since your results are with Core i7 820 @ 1.73GHz and the Q9550 runs at 2.83GHz I am hopeful that I will see a performance benefit from my upgrade even if Ubuntu still has problems with Turbo Boost.
