You want to examine the individual subscores to make sure it's not just hardware acceleration but it's generally as good a measure as any other, at least with version 5. There were previous versions that had different working set sizes for different platforms and that was a major source of error. EDIT: In the end the only really good benchmark is your particular workload run on the processor. Everything else is just evidence towards what that'll be.
