Benchmarking dual-CPU machines

Is there are version of Prime95 that runs benchmarks using all CPUs in a system and not just all cores of a single CPU?

Prime95 does not distinguish between "Cores in a CPU" and "CPUs on the motherboard".

If you have a dual-CPU quad-core computer, prime95 should report 8 cores.

That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying.
