Wow, I had no idea on the benchmarks. However I am a bit surprised they are not higher, even comparing Windows with Linux. Here is mine with a several generations older Xeon E5410 on Linux.

Floating Point Speed: 2,329.20 million ops/sec
Integer Speed: 12,418.52 million ops/sec

I know the integer speed is irrelevant for most of the crunching , but I would have thought the newer ones would be better, but they show lower ???? I had expected the floating point to be lower and it is.

Cheers

Wow! indeed, I would also have expected them to be higher, however, running at a clock speed of 3871, the benchmark is not bad at all. My FX8350 is running just over 4400, different CPU's yes, but impressive none the less...

I've noticed the benchmark varies significantly each time its run, even if you do it 3 times on the trot...

While on this occasion they don't vary that much there is still a difference, so it can only be used as a guide. BTW, this is one of my other machines running at 4014
