Best CPU benchmarking software

I have volunteered to do a huge project for the forum in response to @eBiz 's requestion (and simultaneously invented a new word.)

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/239193-does-anyone-have-data-on-hardware-priceperformance-over-the-years/

This will take time, but I'm excited and interested in doing it.

However, for this I need to know: what is, as far as you guys know, the best, most accurate, reliable and relevant-to-real-world-applications CPU benchmarking tools?

I'm not the most knowledgeable about benchmarking, so any help would be great!

Cheers!

Cinebench R15 is good for CPU benching I believe. Also CPU rendering times of videos

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

A pretty nominal one is intelburntest. It uses linpack64 stuff (or whatever), the same stuff they measure supercomputer processing power with.

It's a relatively short test and gives relatively consistent data. Although since it's called intelburntest, I don't know how accurately/well it would run with amd cpu's

It gives you cpu performance in terms of flops, which is usually a ballpark estimate of the cpu/piece of hardware's raw processing power

Home is where the heart my desktop is.
