"Secondly, there's no current benchmarking software that will really take advantage of six cores with 2 threads each."

I don't have the chip, but when someone is unable to find a multithreaded app to test it with, he doesn't deserve to have it either. Any *properly* multithreaded multimedia encoder (x264 comes to mind - should be good) should be able to take advantage of six cores. And that's just one example...
Just my 2 €c...

Its nice article, need Google translator to read it. Basicly, its still Bloomfield except inner core, so all scores are about same as nehalem bloomfield. Theres self admiditly, Much Further work yet to be Engineered. here:

new 32 nm processors, the Intel Westmere is ready, although not in the micro-architecture major alterations, but with advances in process on the same chip size under more computing capacity Li core, the core clock and room for further expansion, at the same time may also improve the power performance. 在32nm 制的加持下， Intel 計劃於2010 年第二季中推出首款六核心DT 處理器，核心代號為「 Gulftown 」， HKEPC 又怎能讓讀者們失望，搶先找來全港首顆Gulftown 六核心工程樣本，與Bloodfield 四核心處理器作對比測試。 32nm system in the next blessing, Intel plans in the second quarter of 2010 to launch the first of six core DT processor core, code-named "Gulftown", HKEPC how readers can disappointing, the first found in Hong Kong's first six-core Gulftown engineering samples, with quad-core processor Bloodfield test for comparison.

One BIG Point, although sample only do 720P, Low resolution, it does as well as Nahalem, right Now. No Tranistor count was given, yet sample probably is less than billion as this point.
