Thanks a lot.<p>Comparing your Intel Core i7 5960X with the old 2004 Pentium 4, single thread performance:<p><pre><code>  Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz  ... 2529 
  Intel Pentium G3258 @ 3.20GHz  ... 2172
  Intel Core i7-5960X @ 3.00GHz  ... 1991
  Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.80GHz      ...  824 
  Intel Atom 230 @ 1.60GHz       ...  238
