I'm collecting some data from benchmarks/ubench running on Freebsd.
Feel free to post your results, including which CPU, motherboard and RAM.

Here are two machines I tested:

1. HP DL360 G4, One Xeon 3.4GHZ (1MB) cache, 2GB PC2700 ECC.

I'm not too sure about ubench. During the CPU test it uses 100% of one CPU, and only a fraction (and mostly none) of the other CPU. This is on a 'true' dual-core system.

Code: 
14410 root          1 118    0  3388K  1096K CPU1    0   1:43 100.00% ubench
14405 root          1  44    0  3388K  1096K piperd  0   0:19  0.00% ubench

In fact: ubench never goes over 100% total CPU. It starts with about 50% on either CPU, and then maxes out one CPU and forgets about the other. A true dual CPU test should max out both CPUs (2 * 100%), no?

And this is what happens during the MEM test ...

Code: 
14433 root          1 114    0 88380K 86192K CPU1    1   0:09 85.89% ubench
14432 root          1 114    0 14652K 12284K RUN     0   0:10 84.08% ubench
14405 root          1  49    0  4412K  2796K piperd  0   0:31 22.56% ubench

More CPU power in use than during the CPU test ..

Either I misunderstand these tests, or they're not right.

That's indeed strange, since it works fine on a Q6600 and Opteron 275.
This is what I see in top, 2 CPU's and HT enabled:

Maybe it can only reliably handle multiple CPUs, not multiple cores.

I will soon lay my hands on some a dual QC Xeons 5000 series, running FreeBSD, will post further results then.
 
This is what I get on a single-core CPU with HT enabled during the CPU test:

Code: 
65331 root        1 117    0  3388K   836K CPU1    1   0:31 100.00% ubench

65252 root        1  44    0  3388K   836K piperd  1   0:22  2.10% ubench

Which is what one might expect. No idea why this doesn't show up on a dual-core CPU.

It did max out both my CPU cores, according to top -P. Also, this is a 7.2-RELEASE-p4 i386.

I don't think so it is useful as software is not updated in ages.

Yet still it provides a measure to compare hardware configurations, which I find useful. The problem we may face, is ubench may not make use of new instruction sets thus producing false results while comparing contemporary CPUs.
 
Two dual core Opteron 275, 4GB ECC PC3200 memory.
Motherboad: Tyan S2892
The memory benchmark is much lower than PC2700 (HP DL360 G4).
Perhaps this is because the Xeons make use of an external memory
controller.
