That's great, but my point was that if the machine is going to be
deployed as a mail or web server, those are the types of loads you want
to benchmark with.

For a CPU like the AMD FX-8120 I know I'd personally be more interested
in seeing how it scales when handling multiple web server VMs than video
transcoding.
