Benchmarks of the Intel Core i7 3770K Ivy Bridge processor at stock and overclocked settings running under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the Linux 3.2 kernel. Testing for a future article and there's comparison results to the Intel Core i5 2500K and Intel Core i5 2400S and Intel Core i3 2120 Sandy Bridge processors. There's also Intel Core i7 3790X Sandy Bridge Extreme, AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer, and AMD A8-3870K Fusion Llano processors for reference too. All testing done on same hardware/software aside from swapping out motherboards when needed. The source based benchmarks were rebuilt each time with -O3 and -march=native compiler flags. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64 was stock install but building the GCC 4.7.0 compiler from source for testing across all processors as the GCC 4.7 compiler has enhancements for Intel Ivy Bridge, Intel Sandy Bridge, AMD Bulldozer, etc. The overclocked Core i7 3770K was just at a simple 4.3GHz using the stock Intel heatsink fan and controlling the overclock from the UEFI/BIOS on the Intel DZ77GA motherboard. More tests are forthcoming. These results are embargoed until 23 April at 9.00 Uhr PST.

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.
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.
The Himeno benchmark is a linear solver of pressure Poisson using a point-Jacobi method. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
CLOMP is the C version of the Livermore OpenMP benchmark developed to measure OpenMP overheads and other performance impacts due to threading in order to influence future system designs. This particular test profile configuration is currently set to look at the OpenMP static schedule speed-up across all available CPU cores using the recommended test configuration.
