My first thought was "Apples to oranges," since 3.6 is singlethreaded.
But then, some of those chips shown are dual cores, some are quad cores,
and at least one is a quad core with Hyperthreading (leading to 8
virtual cores), so maybe it wouldn't be so inappropriate after all :)

Would you like to volunteer to do said benchmarking?

...Actually, here's an interesting thought: how hard would it be to set
up the "Benchmark" function in POV to report to some central database
stored on the web?  Nothing personally identifiable, of course, just
CPU, RAM, and rendering times (maybe a few other things, like chipset et
al).
