While 36 MP may sound like a lot, keep in mind that the rumored resolution of 7360 x 4912 pixels on a full frame translate into a pixel size of 4,9 micron. A Nikon D7000 has a pixel size of 4,8 micron and the 24 MP sensor in NEX-7 is at 3,9 micron.
I think that it is fair to assume that the rumored sensor will be a Sony design, so it should at least be able to rival the per pixel performance of the sensor used in the NEX-7. And it looks pretty decent to me:

I would personally prefer the resolution/noise ratio of the D1 X / D4, but if you're shooting in a studio @ ISO 100 with all the light in the world, it looks mighty tempting.
I'm less convinced about a huge resolution advantage in situations where you don't perfect control over both quality of light, focus and the subject being absolutely still. ...Show more →
Quoting directly from dpreview on the NEX-7:
RAW mode reveals the 24MP sensor’s real potential. A lot of fine detail is captured in the image files, and the NEX-7 joins the SLT-A665 and A77 as arguably the best performing APS-C camera to date in this respect. Even at ISO 100 though, there’s visible noise in dark areas of the scene; by ISO 800, noise becomes visible in almost all areas of plain tone, and increases rapidly as you go higher on the ISO scale. Fine detail rendering suffers at ISO 1600 and noise starts getting distinctly problematic at ISO 3200, with distinctly high levels of chroma noise.
