uhh - I have both shanghai and nehalem systems in my labs, the latest stuff from both vendors. We run our tests on the workloads we are concerned about... that trumps somebody else's test, at least for me. These are not empty benchmarks, they are simulations of the actual production systems. For the database loads we are testing, Nehalem wins for a small number of VMs but as that number goes up, performance falls off, and by 8 VMs, shanghai is winning on performance per watt and on response time. We work closely with engineers at both companies to identify pinch points and get work-arounds.
