Thank you very much for doing this.

I tried to map the CPUID into more human-friendly family moniker, and it
seems that these are Pentium-4 class CPUs. Am I right ?

If yes, could you, please, rerun the tests on anything more recent than
Core2, i.e. any Core i7-whatever class of Xeons ?

Thank again.
