PCMark is always an excellent benchmark :D. And you should do some benchmarks on games at lower resolutions such as Crysis at 1024x768 on High Quality and that is so that you won't have the CPUs bottlenecking on your benchmarks :)

These are synthetic benchmarks, they don't have much to do with games, just make sure not to select graphics tests and just test CPU only tests.

quite a few smily faces there. encoding can also be a good way to test since many programs dont use the gpu for power.
