Super PI is a small utility that, despite its size, is one of the most accurate benchmarks for CPU performance. The principle of the program is based on the calculation of the number of Pi with an accuracy of thirty-two million digits after the decimal point. Impressive, isn't it? Thus, it checks how quickly your CPU copes with this task and displays the result in fractions of a second (yes, modern processors need exactly that much time to perform such calculations). If desired, you can run a "quick" test that will calculate only sixteen thousand digits after the decimal point. There are also some more testing variants with values between 16.000 and 32.000000. In principle, the possibility of choosing the duration of the test is the only thing you need to specify before starting it. There are no other settings in the program.

In addition to using Super PI as a benchmark, it is sometimes used "for its intended purpose". People in many professions: engineers, scientists, biochemists often face the need to accurately calculate the number of Pi. Fortunately, the program not only records the time of its calculations, but also provides their results directly. All data from the results screen can be copied to the clipboard with just a few clicks.

The main benefit of using Super PI software is its remarkable ability to accurately and swiftly benchmark CPU performance through complex Pi calculations.

You do not need to install the program on your computer to use it. Simply unpack the downloaded archive and run the SuperPI.exe executable file. The benchmark is very "unpretentious" and works on any hardware and Winows version.
