But if this particular CPU also performs good in any other app, then there is no such strong relation Super Pi <-> games, but that this CPU is good at any kind of code.

Super Pi uses x87 code, depends on memory acesses (so a good cache + memory prefetchers will help) and has many loops, where Conroe's macro op fusion helps a lot.
