It's now faster than GCC 4.6 on Intel processors. GCC still produces better code for AMD processors when you optimize specifically for AMD architectures. Additionally, OpenMP is not yet supported in Clang and so some benchmarks which use OpenMP naturally perform better under GCC currently.
FreeBSD 9, currently in RC2 phase, will use Clang to build the kernel, core utils, applications and will feature it as it's default compiler.
