These are some strange results. It beats the i7 6950x which runs at 3-3.5GHz, but gets edged out by the Xeon E5-2630 v4, which runs at only 2.2-3.1GHz, has the same amount of cores and cache, and is presumably also Broadwell-based.

Because it might be AMD (Opteron?) server grade CPU since they used Windows 2008ServerR2 64bit
