Well, I was asked for it and here it is. I used a program called Xbench and these are the results:

To me this is just a bunch of numbers and words that mean very little, so I’m not even going to try and understand any of it. To anyone who was interested, I hope this helps. This was the very first of four benchmarks I ran via this program and I can say the numbers do vary but I thought I’d just upload the very first one I ran, to make it slightly fair.
