WPrime
WPrime is famed for being one of the best optimized benchmarks for multi-threading CPU as whole. Now let's see what can the 8 parallel threads of Intel Core i7 965 XE can do here.
Undoubtedly results are indicative. More threads = faster result computation, much faster indeed.
SuperPI
SuperPI will remain in history as one of the first massively used tools for processor performance testing. The program exists for over a decade now and back in the day when 32M PI computation took 24 hours on the 90MHz Pentium it was considered a stability test too. We used modified version from XtremeSystems, that adds multi-threading to some degree (sadly still incapable to fully load all cores).
Yes, results are a bit odd, leaving Core 2 Quad at the same frequency, bus and memory as the Core 2 Duo a step behind.
