It seems a bit too early to say that Amd will lead over a brand new Caneland plataform (!!!!), same story for 2-way systems without certain informations over Intel future clock speeds and chipset enhancements.
Your analysis is the photocopy of the DC Woodcrest vs. DC Opteron battle. Woodcrest is better in commercial workload, this is an Amd damnation.
Who cares about performances of niche.
