How reliable is this CPU benchmark?

I was looking for number crunching benchmarks, I read about Super Pi but then i couldnt find any graphical illustration and comparison of modern CPUs for it.

Anybody know any similar way i can compare number crunching CPUs?

Or does this chart look pretty accurate? I expected the Xeon x3370 and x3330 to outperform the opteron 6128 but they dont.

It all depends what the benchmark is looking for. I would say that the chart as presented in the link is looking at a fair amount of multi-threaded type benchmarks as the AMD processors do not really compete with their Intel counterparts for pure number crunching right now. While AMD have the upper hand with regard to multi-threaded optimised applications.

Anandtech and HWBOT are two good places to look for CPU comparisons.
