In Response To: Sandy Bridge CPU (Michael Depreli)

What's the best site for comparing cpu floating point performance?

I've always counted on SiSoft Sandra for integer and floating point benchmarks. http://www.tomshardware.com/ uses those, plus many others. However, S-S "synthetic" benchmarks are written efficiently to test these properties and may not be a great indicator for "real world" applications (even typical parallel codes, which thankfully the current bots use).

I think your question for Xavier is of greater interest to the bgonline crowd.
