ScienceMark 2.0 Cipher

This test is very heavy on FPU consumption and thus we have continued to use it in our new suite. 

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Preview - Conroe Performance - Processors 73

These three tests are the one area where I saw the Conroe unable to take the lead away from AMD in raw performance.  The performance advantage the FX-62 is moderate, around 8% on average, but the E6700 does out perform the X2 4800+ processor, its closest price competitve part.
