You cant really benchmark it the same way because you have to write code specifically taking advantage of its capabilities.

You cant just throw XP or Vista on there and say, hey lets run some benchmarks. It may run, but like any multicore processor and computer, it only works at peak capacity if the software is optimized for the hardware.
