Linux 3.2 Kernel Benchmarking

Linux kernel benchmarking from an Intel Core i7 3960X overclocked to 4.5GHz on an Intel X79 motherboard as a review sample from Intel for future articles on Phoronix.com. Testing from the Linux 3.2 kernel and older. Using generic mainline Ubuntu kernel PPA to easy reproduce.

Compare your own system(s) to this result file with the Phoronix Test Suite by running the command: phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1201066-BY-LINUX32KE16
