Performance - CPU-Z
CPU-Z Internal Benchmark
CPU-Z was recently updated with a fairly quick to run, yet seriously proper benchmark. I decided to include the results as it offers something you can easily replicate and try at home. Next to that, it actually is a pretty nice performance measurement to test RAW CPU performance, performance is measured both as per core and multi-threaded core performance.

The CPU-Z benchmark really is becoming one of my favorite ones, as it offers a fast and easy manner in which to quickly view single threaded and multi-threaded SMT performance. Give it a try yourself, it is easy to use. Here are some numbers, we'll build up and update more results over time:
Once you start to accumulate more cores the relative perf will jump up fast, of course. Unfortunately not all software makes use of many cores/threads, including games, hence per core perf matters more opposed to having, say eight cores over a quad-core processor.
