Such measurements are hard to carry even against conventional cores. Denver's code morphing layer multiplies the difficulty. The only established test that I am aware of is Spec_SPECpower_ssj2008, but Denver is not intended for server market, so it wouldn't be fair to benchmark it against Haswell (that most certainly is intended for server market) in that sort of test.

I have no idea.
However, at this level of performance comparing core areas in isolation is meaningless. More so, IMHO, even comparing core+L1 areas in isolation is also meaningless, because L2 caches became integral parts of the deal.
