I wouldn't trust the Windows experience score as a good measure of performance.

so what is the best way to see if the cpu is running like it says on the box

What do you mean? CPUs don't have benchmarks on the box.

You could use CPU-Z or ThrottleStop to find out what your CPU is clocked at. Maybe WPrime for a performance comparison? This doesn't help though because it sounds like you already installed the patches. Generally speaking, the performance benefits aren't typically noticeable by a human user and only benefits in specific cases.

we need to benchmark the cpu so all can see what it performs at and where you can compaire your system

I don't see a "Windows Patch" fixing bulldozer. It will take a whole new CPU structure to do that.
