Mol Dyn: Molecular Dynamics is a method for simulating the thermodynamic behaviour of materials using their forces, velocities, and positions. Most important of the afore mentioned is the force. Primordia: This code calculates the Quantum Mechanical Hartree-Fock Orbital for each electron in any element of the periodic table lower times indicate better results.

Lower calculation times are better.

In Mol Dyn the Core i5 750 actually gets the best score out of any processor. This is a strange contrast when compared to the Primordia benchmark, where the Core i5 750 is actually the second-slowest processor.
