Simple realtime lightweight CPU benchmark
I'm looking for the simplest (lightweight, small executable) Windows program to benchmark CPU. I know there are tons of ways to see your CPU core utilization in percentage and you can see your CPU current/maximum MHz setting (for example with Core Temp).
I know that there is Prime95 which utilizes 100% of all cores. I'm basically looking for Prime95 with a very simple graph or number telling me how fast the program is currently calculating (like a realtime FLOPS display).
Why do I want this? Core Temp is good, but I have a situation where I have fluctuating Min/Max MHz (as in what is set in Power Options / Processor power management / Min and Max processor state). And I have fluctuating CPU reserved for other processing. So I want to be able to very quickly check how much pratical processing power I have currently available without having to check the max MHz and the amount of other processes using CPU.
What program does this?
