Worldbench5
Worldbench5 is one of the most comprehensive benchmark suites, however, as it turns out, most of the benchmarks used are not taking advantage of standard HyperThreading not to mention Thread Level Parallelism.
As was hinted before, many of the Photoshop fiters are not multithreaded and, therefore, will not yield any advantage of multiple cores. Photoshop CS is supposedly better suited at multithreading, though than PS7.1
Running multiple applications of Microsoft Office in parallel does not qualify either as multithreaded, on the contrary, the 840D scores better than the 840 EE with HT enabled.
Jukebox processing of audio streams may not be the application to bring out the best in multiple cores, either.
