Also bit old benchmarking games for fun (& profit). Concerns: There should not be differences in calculations, given the same floating point rules (Obviously there is no 80bit floating point in most GPU's, so the CPU version should be probably SSE2 or something in the like).

All Macs sold nowadays are multicore, but some have crappy GPUs (Intel GMA 950 or X3100). The LLVM quote from wikipedia also probably refers to Apple (since, well, LLVM is mostly an Apple project, and they are already using it for OpenGL software fallbacks).
