Cpu Benchmark

These are quite poor answers, but then your question isn't clear.
If you're interested in peak floating point performance (which you probably are) I would expect LINPACK to be about the most accurate measure. Running Intel Burn Test with max memory will tell you your CPU performance in GFLOPS.
If you're just after some willy-waving then any of the above will give you a number you can compare to your friends' computers.

LOL!!! Joey.
WRONG WRONG WRONG!!
I can adjust afew memory timings and improve Intel Burn test (AKA Silicon Torture) by 10% easy. Thats nothing to do with CPU its memory. Infact turning off hyper threading alone gets a massively improved result of 20% plus. So less processing power and higher score!!! Come on man!!! IBT or Linx are not benches and have never been.
A variety of benchmark is the way to test out your CPU over many tasks.

The OP questions is vague - he's asking for the "best cpu benchmarking" app which is a stupid question. Any of the ones you wrote are good choices and as you say will do better/worse with different systems and configs.
I assumed by "best" he means something specific like peak floating point power (IMO the purest measure of "computing power") in which case LINPACK Is a great choice. In your example, if you turn off hyperthreading and get a lower number of GFLOPS that's exactly what you'd expect as you're making the threads compete for shared FPUs. You then know you need it off to reach the peak floating point performance of the chip. In other benchmarks it could be the opposite case.
Also it's to do entirely with the CPU architecture, not the memory. I thought you knew your stuff!
