How fast a CPU runs SimulationCraft, per core. Every machine in the pool runs the same fixed sim on one thread once a day, when it has nothing else to do; this is what they measured, by CPU model.

The benchmark is a Windwalker Monk on Patchwerk, 1,000 iterations of a five-minute fight on one thread, timed by SimulationCraft itself. Per core is the median of each machine's last runs, and per model the median over its machines. Whole CPU multiplies by the threads it has: a rough ceiling, since threads that share a core and a hot chip both give less. Only the CPU model is recorded — no member, no machine name.
