Do you require a formal benchmark or just a useful approximation? ie. 
for some formal study, or to estimate how much hardware X is than 
hardware Y?

Oh, and doing what? Integer, float, tree chasing through memory? 
Frequently these don't scale linearly with the number of threads, in the 
CPU or in the test case. Multicore CPUs run out of memory bandwidth, 
etc, etc.

Tell us what you want to compare (in terms of load) and maybe we can 
offer better help.
