Yep, I was guessing closer to 5-6x - the PassMark score is 5x my current CPU, and I figured if anything Robocode would scale better to more cores than the average benchmark. I really appreciate all the real world info! Definitely impacting my purchasing decision.

Oh, and one little warning, when I run the X6 1090 at the OCed 3.6GHz, with 8 robocode instances, and stock cooling, it pushes the CPU temperature awfully high (61C when the CPU is spec'ed for a maximum of 62C). Pondering clocking it back to 3.2GHz now that I noticed that, haha.

On completely unrelated thing, maximum temp is 62? That's pretty low... I know I have pushed my Core 2 P8400 (mobile processor) to 95C before the system shut down to protect the cpu. 60C is my standard CPU temp when I am not in air-conditioned room (50C in air-conditioned room). My graphics also goes up to 108C without problem...

Mobile processors are spec'ed completely different for heat from what I've seen (My old Core2Duo laptop was spec'ed for up to 105C for instance)

Aha, I think I found why...
Compare i7-2640M (mobile) and i7-2600K. Notice that the mobile part is specified with "Tjunction" whereas the desktop is specified with "Tcase". It appears desktop CPUs use temperature measurements of the packaging temperature whereas mobile parts directly measure the die temperature. Fun stuff :)
