You still didn't explain why QX loses to Phenom in UT3. You listed some non-reason strawmen, such as "code optimizations for Phenom."

How about this as a reason: UT3 code runs faster on Phenom, by a long shot, clock for clock, than it does on QX9XXX or QX6XXX.

The same thing is true for MainConcept H.264 encoding, where a lowly $240 95 watt Phenom 9600 outperforms a $1,000 130 watt QX6700. lostcircuits.com

The same is true for F.E.A.R., where $240 Phenom 9600 gets higher frame rates than the $1,000 QX6700. lostcircuits.com
