Postgres does somewhat better than MySQL on a single box with multiple cores ... mainly because of the work Sun put into scaling it before they bought MySQL.
That's not really the case. Sun has some some benchmarking, but most of the work on Postgres SMP performance was done by others (mostly Tom Lane, who works for Red Hat, and various EnterpriseDB employees).
