I finished building a I7-3930K system for a trade show next week, I ran out of time to fully test it today, but I did have enought time to wack the clock speed up to 4.5Ghz and a quick set of MAME benchmarks.
System spec: Intel I7-3930K @ 4.5Ghz ,Corsair H100 water cooler, ASUS P9X79 Deluxe motherboard, 16GB Kingston Hyper-X DDR3-1866 RAM, 2x AMD HD6970 graphics cards in crossfire, Windows 7 64bit SP1,MAMEUI64 [rom name] -bench 90 .
For comparison I've included RB's 4.8Ghz i7 2600K & the FX-8150 @ 4.8GHz I posted earlier this week.
ROM FX-8150(4.8ghz) I7-2600K (4.8ghz) I7-3930K (4.5ghz)

BLITZ 143.30% 258.00% 283.31%
DOLPHIN 27.62% 38.00% 39.18%
GAUNTLEG 199.48% 370.00% 378.57%
GRADIUS4 147.71% 236.00% 217.45%
PROPCYCL 119.31% 259.00% 213.75%
RADIKALB 125.12% 210.00% 191.33%
SCUD 79.36% 149.00% 146.15%
STARSLDR 67.92% 85.00% 92.83%
To tell the truth I wasn't expecting there to be a hugh difference between the I7-2600K & the I7-3930K since they are effect the same CPU, the i7-3930K just having two more cores, Quad Channel memory controller and Larger Cache memory, but few if any changes to the CPU Cores. The Extra Cores really don't look to be getting much love from MAME, I think the extra Cache memory and maybe the insane memory bandwidth that the quad channel offers up is the only thing helping the i7-3930K scores.
I'll be doing some more testing on the system tomorrow, I should to be able to run benchmarks at 4.8Ghz, and hopefully 5.0Ghz too. 
If all else fails, Burn the manual.
