Some more tests on various gear:
i7-4790 (core i7 Haswell, AVX2) gcc 4.8.2:
Huge boost for X3 except when running HT (slight loss)
E5-2699 v3 (Xeon Haswell, AVX2) gcc 4.8.2:
Huge boost for X3 except when running HT (slight loss)
E5-2670 (Xeon Sandy Bridge, AVX) gcc 4.8.2:
Huge boost for X3, except with HT: Still a boost but very small.
"Huge boost" again means 20-30% while "slight loss" means < 5%.
