I think you're referring to another benchmark. AFAICS, this one doesn't test clang or tcc.

From the main article link I clicked through to the forum thread[1] where the tester posted his benchmarks. There's more than one there as he progressively tested different compilers and different setups; I looked at the first 2-3.

The forum thread on page 3[1] however reads:

  side-by-side comparisons do however indicate that Clang performed as good or better than ICC or GCC when -O2 is used!

And through the link by yread you can see that clang really performs very well overall.
