Andrew and I exchanged some private e-mails and here is where it came
from:

Someone from Intel ran SPECint with gcc/g++ using low optimisation flags
(-O2 -pthread -fPIC) on one core of the system(s).  Then they multiplied
the result by the # of cores, 8, to come up with the 11751 score on the
3 GHz CPU.

Note that this NOT what the SPEC rate benchmark would do -- SPEC rate
would run 8 copies simultaneously and time the slowest completion of
each benchmark -- and the score is on a different scale than
SPECint_rate_base2000 uses.

But if you interpret it as a measure of single core performance and not
full system performance, it's fine.
