I wish tech review sites would do a molecular dynamics benchmark for processors like these. It's pretty easy to set up just a simple MD simulation, and there'd be tens of us interested in seeing the results.

The Phoronix test suite is open source. If patches were provided, I feel confident the result would be new benchmarks included in his articles.
Interesting. I, for some reason, was unaware that the benchmarks were user sourced. It appears to mainly be a system for bash scripts to run the program and then automatically format the results, is that correct? There's a benchmark for LAMMPS, but it'd be interesting to get one up for Gromacs or CHARMM.
