Here's a program I wrote earlier today for benchmarking processors. It basically just runs the same equation over and over as many times as it can and outputs the number of times it ran it that second to the screen. It starts scoring after 3 seconds and then closes itself at the 10 second mark. It makes a file called 'stats.txt' in its own directory at the same time. The scoring is done in terms of most equations completed in a second (max), least completed (min), and the average of the two (mean).
It only runs on a single core. Multicore processors have no advantage here.
www.heartbeatgaming.110mb.com/Equationater.zip is the download link. It is an exe file, but it's safe if you're paranoid about those sorts of things. You have it on my honor.
My score:
Max: 54170
Min: 52190
Mean: 53180
My Processor:
Phenom II x3 720 @ 3.40ghz
