I just noticed that Geekbench has been updated to version 3 and would now be considered a much more reliable benchmark than version 2.
Whilst this benchmark is going to be very popular for tablets and smartphones, you can get a free download and run it on your PC/Laptop as well.
With the free version, you are restricted to 32bit testing only, but still, should be some fun.
When you finish your benchmark run, it will automatically launch a browsing session in order to show your score.
The only other little quibble I would make, is that the benchmark seems unable to tell what speed you have overclocked your system to, as it shows what should be the default speed, rather than the overclocked speed.
More on that below.
Anyway, go here to download GeekBench 3 & don't forget to mention what your actual clockspeed is, of your system that has run this benchmark.
The General site in case you want to download the non-Windows version of Geekbench3 is http://www.primatelabs.com/geekbench/
Anyway, my results on my 4.02Ghz i5 3570K are :
Now keep in mind, despite what the below screen says, my CPU is actually running at 4.02Ghz
