But the company with the better core/thread performance wins market share, sorry.

Superpi is absolutely useless, it's a relic from nearly 30 years ago when we used to install our own co-processors.
AFAIK AMD has deprecated x87 in BD and it will be emulated in the fp pipe. Don't be surprised if 1m times are out over a minute.

Still think it's a great performance indicator?
