hm, some benchmarks can be changed. Example im thinking, Cinebench R11.5 is very close to reality rendering, or videoencoding (X264 benchmark-very stresing CPU, hard with LN2/LHe because time is about 15 minutes ). Anyway, people like crazy numbers not only in CPU-Z, but too populary superpi, wprime, and 3D Marks (but 3D marks are far away from reality :-/ )
