can IBT be used to compare cpu throughput across platforms?

like the title asks, can intel burn test be used to compare, let's say my 4790k rigs throughput to my 965 rigs throughput and such?
in ibt my 965 rig makes 51-52 GFlops @3.8, my 4790K rig makes 129 GFlops @4.4, is this accurate?
I also use super pi and wprime.
what would you use?

I'd like to think we can caddi!
Just a front end for Lin pack, which every computer can run so I guess you can look at it like a benchmark!

6700k 4.8ghz 145GFlops Very High

Haven't looked at IBT in a while. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places, it hasn't been updated since 2012, which pre-dates FMA. Reason for mentioning that is I understand it is big on FPU performance. For example, in Prime95 AVX gives about 2x IPC compared to without. If you factor that difference between the 965 and 4790k, allowing for clock, it is roughly in that ball park. The remaining difference might be due to ram performance. If IBT supported FMA, quite likely Haswell and later would show even higher results.

So like any benchmark, it only shows how fast your computer is at running that benchmark, and caution needs to be applied to interpreting that.

that's why I use more than one and tend to think that super pi is better to compare throughput.
