Mandelbrot

This is the latest program being used by Japanese benchers. It's called Mandelbrot. If you're into mathematics, you'll know who Benoit Mandelbrot is. In a nutshell, the program measures the amount of time it takes to zoom into a geometric pattern known as the Mandelbrot set. In other words, it calculates rendering speed. The Mandelbrot set is actually a much larger image. After the benchmark is started, it zooms in to reveal a lot of intricate patterns not visible to the human eye. Dual-core chips do really well in this bench. My thanks to fredyama for pointing out this program to me.
