SuperPI calculates the
number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The
benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the number of digits
of PI that can be calculated from 16 Thousand to 32 Million. The benchmark,
which uses 19 iterations in the test, is set 1 Million digits.
Lower numbers denote faster calculation times
(seconds), and hence, better performance.

AMD has always performed well in SuperPi because it's a pure FPU benchmark.
Still, the P4 handles itself very
well.
The Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer (POV-Ray) is
an all round excellent package, but there are two things that particularly make
it stand out above the rest of the crowd. Firstly, it's free, and secondly, the
source is distributed so you can compile it on virtually any
platform.
Lower numbers denote faster calculation times
(seconds), and hence, better performance.

POVRay is another FPU
intensive application, and the P4 doesn't do as well.
