Re: Kentsfield can do a HIGHER resolution at slightly higher fps. This does not bode well at all and notice Anand did no game benchmarks either. What's to hide here ?

The answer why Anandtech did no gaming benchmarks is clearly stated in the review:

The second issue we ran into was a PCI Express problem that kept us from running any meaningful GPU benchmarks. We've been told that it'll take the motherboard guys about a month to work out these kinks, but that's why you shouldn't expect to see a full performance evaluation of Nehalem in the near term.

There is no way to directly compare Kentsfield and Nehalem scores from two different reviews from two different locations as there is no way of knowing whether the same graphics options in Supreme Commander were used in both benchmarks.
