baytrail has the vast expense of cutting edge foundries and the entire expensive might of intel r&d behind it, and it just got beaten by a cpu produced with far less engineering and r&d expense on a last generation foundry.
Lets wait for a fuller set of independent benchmarks. There is a lot of speculation on RWT and my conclusion is that nobody really knows what's causing the difference. Also note that a lot of these benchmarks use JS, which puts the quality of the JS engine into the equation.
That is very true. Also, bay trail still won a lot of benchmarks on said page.
I cannot shake the feeling through, that while bay trail is competitive and will be very interesting for many purposes (looking forward to getting a small home server based around the new atoms) - it needs to truly trounce arm to initiate an industry change.

Doesn't look good for baytrail then.
