"The other day I posted an article to highlight our new benchmark application Geekbench. It received a lot of attention, but there was some concern about the machines used in the testing (mainly, the Athlon 64 and Pentium 4c are kind of old). Despite the fact that the article was meant to be more about the testing than the results, some people refused to let it pass. Luckily, a few people responded to my request for results from more machines, so here is a smaller article comparing just three machines: a PowerMac G5 Quad, an Athlon 64 X2 and a Pentium D."

its not possible to recompile and test for yourself either.
Well, you could download the executables from the link below, if you're inclined to run such untrusted code:

But I just don't understand why they don't publish the source and the compiler settings. What do they have to hide?
