Can Oracle/Microsoft actually enforce "no benchmark clauses," as in could they take you to court and win?

I suspect not, you should be covered by the first amendment. However, I don't think most people have the money to find out. The ones that do seem keen on following Ellison's example.

The first amendment doesn't apply to contracts between private entities. The government cannot forbid you to publish benchmarks. However, it can also not prevent you from signing away your first amendment rights in most circumstances.
