If you really want to test it, you can run superpi and see what time you get.

I'm running an E8500 at 3.8GHz, superpi mod for 1M digits takes a total of 12.5 sec. for 19 loops. Your processor at slightly slower speed and with less cache should take about 14 sec, and that's nothing to complain about.

(But the fastest overclocked 2500k and 2600k processors will do it in about 7 sec. or less.)
