Considering the 6600K has a relatively low clockspeed (3.9GHz turbo) and doesn't have hyperthreading turned on, those are some pretty impressive numbers!
It goes to show that having the right kind of software + the ability to recompile using a modern compiler can take a chip that many people don't think is very good and really make it shine. The days of huge performance leaps for obsolete single-threaded software are unfortunately over.
The 6700K with higher clocks and hyperthreading should be quite impressive. Additionally, next year Intel should get out a version that includes the L4 cache and that will definitely help in more data intensive workloads.

A lot of streaming software doesnt use the GPU because the fixed function hardware creates worse images than just doing x264 on the CPU. When I DO use the GPU it works fine... under Windows. But on Linux the only option is x264 on the CPU.

This isn't an issue with chrome, nor dolphin (but the latter has always been very liberal with page layout).
