Nice
Nope, just numbers without meaning as it's mostly the case when people play 'benchmarking gone wrong'. If you calculate prime numbers for a living sysbench is still the tool of choice.
If you want to learn what's essential when doing benchmarks (that means: almost all the times either throwing the results in the bin or tools and methodology) then start to read from here on: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=136&t=19158
TL;DR: Using sysbench's cpu test based on calculating prime numbers to compare different architectures is simply fooling yourself.
Well, this was only in reaction to prime numbers sysbench post before. I have own methods to test computing power of boards based on application, for which I'm using it.
