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. Again the two X58 boards are close to one another, the differences coming from the lower frequency with DIF.
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. Completely as expected the lower i7 920 frequency played a part here also.
