There is a completely rewritten version of Geekbench, which is a very useful cross-platform processor and memory performance benchmark that you can use for comparing and validating processor and memory performance on anything from your laptop to a very expensive database server in just a few minutes, with no configuration of the benchmark needed. As the Primate Labs web site puts it:
Geekbench 3 is Primate Labs’ next-generation processor benchmark, with a new scoring system that separates single-core and multi-core performance, and new workloads that simulate real-world scenarios. Geekbench 3 makes it easier than ever to find out if your computer is up to speed.
There is also a new 1.66 version of CPU-Z, that has support for some upcoming processors, such as the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series (Ivy Bridge-EP).
