Intel Linux Kernel Tests - Linux 3.2 to Linux 3.7

Benchmarking the Linux 3.2 kernel through Linux 3.7 kernel (Git under development) from an Intel Core i7 3960X Sandy Bridge Extreme Edition to see the overall Linux desktop/system performance from an Ubuntu 12.10 host. Benchmarking for a future article on Phoronix.com.
