Hey.

I just read the AMD quad vs the Intel Dual article.
It was obvious when the review was written there is very little programs that support quad cores making a poor comparison with the Quad core system.

There is a program called Blender which is a 3D modeling program.
Blender in a open source program found at http://www.blender.org/
This program currently supports 8cores. So even testing the dual skulltrail system will scale really well.
Rendering a large frame or a small 10second video is easy open the file and click render.
Blender also records how long it takes to render each frame(but does not make logs).

There is a gallery here on what the program is capable of: http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/gallery/art-gallery/

Some of the pictures will take a long time to render.
I have a Ferrari Enzo on my computer, to render 1 (one) frame takes my computer 13 mins at 800x420 resolution 5xAA
The bench mark can be scaled. For example increase the AA to 16 and change the resolution to 1600x840.
As i said Above this program supports up to 8 cores making it a very good benchmarking program to scale with cores and core frequency.

My Laptops specs include:
2.5Ghz Intel Dual core 45nm,
4GB RAM 667Mhz.

I Hope Some one Agrees :D
