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.

It seems
that the Athlon64 3200+ has a bit more FPU power than the other
processors.
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 pure FPU benchmark and here we see that the Athlon processors have a lot
more FPU.
