A quick test to share what I'm seeing (differently). Code was executed using LINQPad 4.42.05 beta (anyCPU) and LINQPad 4.42.01 (x86), respectively, and optimizations were turned on.

Results (x64)

Concat 00:00:00.5541643
StringBuilder 00:00:00.4194049

Results (x86)

Concat 00:00:00.4938912
StringBuilder 00:00:00.4087391
