can someone post a pic of what it looks like? i mean is it just tonnes of objects or does it have some normal scenario?

A quick article can be found here:

Hilbert, would it be possible to run this benchmark on say, an FX-8320E and i7 4790K with an R9 290X for comparison?

That is supposed to be in an OS to test, totally pointless people using it if it doesn't log everything.

The performance of DX12 has negative scaling when core count goes above 4. Although that may change by the time DX12 properly ships.

I've got 11.656.925 draw calls with my i5-2500k @4,2ghz.
I'm interested in scores of cheaper 6 or 8 core AMD CPUs... wanna know if they are better than good i5/i7 with 4 cores.

This is not a benchmark. It's a comparison test of increased drawcall capabilities of dx12 over dx11.

But still it is a Benchmark. Yes it's a Benchmark to compare capabilitys of different APIs but the performance in each category depends on your machines hardware. So it's interesting to see if AMD 8 core CPUs that where slower than QuadCore i5/i7 in DX11 are maybe faster now with DX12. In the past the single core Performance was most important... with DX12 this can change so that more slower cores could be better than few faster cores.

Well the number of draw calls is somewhat limited to the command processor's ability to accept them on the GPU side. There is no game issuing 10 million draw calls so chances are the command processor wasn't designed to ever handle that many. I also don't realistically see games issuing this many calls ever.
Honestly this test is more interesting from a CPU perspective then GPU.
