LLVM 3.2 Clang Intel Linux Compiler

Intel Core i7-3960X Sandy Bridge Extreme Edition computer running Ubuntu 12.10 and comparing builds of LLVM/Clang 3.1 and LLVM/Clang 3.2 SVN. LLVM and Clang both times were built in release mode of --disable-assertions and --enable-optimized. Compiler flags passed to tests included -O3 and then each -march=nocona and -march=corei7-avx to see if there's any x86_64 compiler tuning optimizations when using corei7-avx for Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs. Benchmarking for a future article on Phoronix.com.
