CheckMate Benchmark

This cutting-edge 64-bit multi-threaded benchmark focuses on the branch prediction capabilities and the misprediction penalties of the CPU. It finds the solutions for the classic "Queens problem" on a 16x16 chessboard. At the same clock speed, theoretically, the processor with the shorter pipeline and smaller misprediction penalties will attain higher benchmark scores. The CheckMate benchmark uses integer MMX, SSE2, SSSE3, AVX, AVX2, and AVX512 optimizations to ensure comprehensive performance testing. Additionally, it scales much better for multi-core CPUs than the previous Queen benchmark, taking full advantage of modern processors' parallel processing capabilities.

For legacy systems, the benchmark is available in a 32-bit version fully optimized for older processors like AMD K5, K6, K7, K8, K10, as well as the entire Intel Pentium family. The heavily outdated Queen benchmark has been retired from the main set of AIDA64 benchmarks.
