GCC 4.x Benchmarking Intel Core i7
Benchmarking of GCC 4.2 through GCC 4.8 when building the compiler the same and setting CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS of -O3 and -march=native prior to test installation and execution. Benchmarking for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel.

C-Ray
This is a test of C-Ray, a simple raytracer designed to test the floating-point CPU performance. This test is multi-threaded (16 threads per core), will shoot 8 rays per pixel for anti-aliasing, and will generate a 1600 x 1200 image. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Smallpt
Smallpt is a C++ global illumination renderer written in less than 100 lines of code. Global illumination is done via unbiased Monte Carlo path tracing and there is multi-threading support via the OpenMP library. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
