> Just did it on my 2011 MacBook Air. Pushes all four cores up... about 15%.

15% of 4 cores ~ 60% single core capacity. That's distinct from saturating a core both qualitatively and quantitatively, which means the prediction is not a bullseye... but it's on the order of magnitude in impact, which means they're not entirely wrong.
