The default Android NDK flags for Thumb code generation are very poor: it's all size optimization. And these are the flags used by AnTuTu.
A bug has been opened regarding this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=56951
So this means that ARM AnTuTu scores should be even higher, leaving Intel farther behind.
