One of the problems with those test is that a lot of database style work depends on the disk subsystems, different chipsets, different drives, different interfaces etc.. Furthermore, when you speak of web servers as well, networking speeds will play a role as well. All of which should be very obvious, CPU benchmarks should stick to just benches that fairly provide testing methods that do not rely on any other factors other than the CPU.
