I saw they added specific code for i7 in x284 a few months ago, and, just for curiosity, I tried benchmark with latest version. It passed from 45 fps to 66 fps (average). ^^

x264 HD Benchmark 3.12 The new x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 is here! This is the improved version of the x264 HD Benchmark 2.0 benchmark which has become a standard CPU benchmark for Tech ARP as well as many other hardware enthusiasts. The new x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 ups the ante by using the latest r1342 x264 encoder as well as other changes under the hood. This makes the x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 the new best tool for testing the full capabilities of modern multi-core processors. Do note that due to the changes, the results from x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 are NOT comparable with results from older versions of the benchmark. In addition to the release of the benchmark, we will be compiling benchmark results for this new version. There are now 64 CPUs in this article, but we need MORE results! So please contribute your new benchmark results to this project! Check out the latest results! Link : x264 HD Benchmark 3.12
I don't think so. If you do, it would be as i7 runs another diferent software and we couldn't compare to other CPU's.

Well, we will have to "upgrade" the x264 encoder sooner or later. Preferably when there's a number of significant improvements, cause we will have to retest all our processors to get accurate and comparable results. Of course, we can still keep our current results and the x264 HD benchmark 3.0. The new version will have its own page and results.
