Lifts curtain? Anandtech had a series of benchmarks just a month ago, with some rather impressive results: for example, x264, the project I work on, got over 40% faster at the same clock speed... before we even started on Nehalem-specific optimizations.
I myself have had a pre-release system for over two weeks for optimization purposes, though (as you might expect) I'm under an NDA with regards exact specifics about performance.
