Awesome.

So, how to benchmark this thing?

SuperPI? Forget it.
PCMark Vantage? Nuh-uh.

Obvious, right? Besides, what fun are benchmarks where you just press start and the computer does it all by itself?

For this benchmark, quality was set to low, and no cheats were used (e.g. level skipping and going through walls).

And the core i7 920 2.66GHz:



Thoughts:

The game is much more difficult to play on the core i7. It's really fast and you slide around like crazy. It doesn't help that on my fancy new $12 Logitech keyboard you can't press up arrow, left arrow, and the space bar at the same time.
