Yeah for my CPU 12 Core you need the VoodooTSSync.kext to enable all cores I think, and that SMcpu setting. Here is my copy. Use KextBeast, unzip and put it on the desktop. Be sure to add to smbios.plist <key>SMcputype</key><string>1281</string>
You may not need this on your 3820 CPU. But I got this file when they were talking about only being able to use 1 CPU on the X79 boards so it may actually help. Your scores are lower too because of 6 Core vs 4 Core. You could always try the VoodooTSSync.kext and string and if it caused havok just boot in with UniBeast and remove the Kext and Values in the smbios.plist
You need the CUDA driver to run Adobe products:

Premiere Pro:
1) run GPUSniffer. Open Terminal Window and copy and paste this command:
/Applications/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS6/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS6.app/Contents/GPUSniffer.app/Contents/MacOS/GPUSniffer
Copy and paste your card name into text editor... mine was GeForce GTX 780
2) copy and paste this command into Terminal:
sudo nano /Applications/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS6/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS6.app/Contents/cuda_supported_cards.txt
Paste in your card above the others and save the file ctrl-x enter I think...
After Effects:
/Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CS6/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CS6.app/Contents/GPUSniffer.app/Contents/MacOS/GPUSniffer
sudo nano /Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CS6/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CS6.app/Contents/raytracer_supported_cards.txt
You should be able to open the program and then select the Mercury Playback Engine instead of Software. Goto Project Settings General then select Renderer Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerator CUDA.
