Yes, I was not really sure how representable Cinebench is, hence my question how sure the parent is. But the benchmarks were easy to come by (back when I posted them already a while back). The only other benchmark I could find that had CPUs from Pentium 4 up to Haswell was Geekbench. Would love to see someone do a benchmark like that (would do it myself if I had enough spare money), with equal clock and memory bandwith etc. EDIT: after reading the critique about libquantum on wikipedia I'm even more interested in the benchmarks. "In the SpecInt2006 benchmarks, the 462.libquantum benchmark is highly vectorizable. The baseline computer for all benchmarks is a 1997 Sun Ultrasparc server computer. Whereas most of the spec sub-benchmarks turn in a performance improvement of about 5x to 80x times faster than the Ultrasparc, the particular 462.libquantum sub-benchmark turns in a result that is up to 4082 times faster than the Sun Ultrasparc .[3] This suggests that for this sub-benchmark, most of the improvements over the Ultrasparc are due to vectorizing compiler improvements, NOT due to CPU hardware improvements, since 1997."
