According to http://www.uniquehardwood.com/JANKA_SCALE.pdf & http://www.becklerscarpet.com/hardwood/janka_hardness.php the range is between rated at 995 & 950 respectively so it is in the range of cherry wood.

"Wood" is a general term. Many different types of wood are made in engineered flooring. Bamboo is generally considered to be soft. People express problems with scratching. Although this can be true with some types of wood as well. Assuming the engineered wood and bamboo flooring are the same quality as far as their construction, the next thing you need to do is refer to is the Janka Hardness scale. See how the species of wood rates in comparison to bamboo. Many sales people have been misinformed about the property of bamboo. It is a great looking floor, but has its disadvantages too.
Oak is generally thought of as a durable flooring. It is the most common wood floor in North America. The Janka Hardness Scale puts white oak at 1360 and red oak at 1290. In comparison, hard maple is a little higher at 1450 and southern yellow pine at 870. The construction of the floor will have a great deal to do with how this floor will wear. The under part of the floor ideally should be made of plywood and not HDF or MDF. Assuming this, oak engineered flooring is a durable choice for most homes.
Rubber stamps come in many shapes and sizes. They consist of a handle, usually of wood or plastic, and the die--attached to said handle-- made of rubber or a rubber like substance.

Rubber tree wood is relatively soft and falls on the lower end of the Janka Wood Hardness Scale. Its hardness varies depending on the specific species of rubber tree, but it is typically in the range of 600-900 lbf (pounds-force).
The Janka Hardness Scale rates the hardness of hardwood flooring and bamboo as well. You can read more about the Janka Scale and see a list of the Janka Hardness Ratings from FindAnyFloor here http://www.findanyfloor.com/hardwood/JankaHardnessRatings.xhtml
European Oak in many ways in similar on the Janka scale as Ameriacan Oak at 1360.
The hardness rating of black walnut wood is approximately 1,010 pounds-force on the Janka hardness scale.
The Janka hardness scale measures the resistance of a wood species to wear and denting. However, the blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) is not commonly listed on the Janka hardness scale due to its limited use in commercial applications. In general, blackthorn is known to be a very hard and dense wood, similar to other fruitwoods like cherry and plum, which typically have Janka hardness values ranging from 950 to 1200 pounds-force.
White Oak is 1360 Northern Red Oak is 1290

Given that there are dozens of different kinds of wood, all of various hardnesses, one should define "regular wood" when asking such a question. Regardless, the short answer to your question is "no." California Redwood is a very soft wood, which is rated at about 400 on the Janka Hardness Scale, and Brazillian Ebony is one of the hardest woods, rated at about 3,700 on the Janka Hardness Scale. By comparison, most plywood is made of birch and/or mahogany, which are rated at about 1,300 and 2,200, repsectively. The hardest plywood is sometimes made of teak, which is rated at about 3,500, which falls short of Brazillian Ebony by about 200 points on the Janka Hardness Scale.
Poplar has a rating of 540.
The hardness of the wood will depend on the species of hardwood. The Janka scale measures the hardness of species and red oak is the standard with hardness of 1,290 psi (pounds per square inch). You can see more on this in the attached link where it shows the hardness for many species.
Jatoba also known as Brazilian Cherry, it is a very hard wood based on the Janka Hardness scale.
The wood flooring hardness table, also known as the Janka hardness scale, measures the resistance of different wood species to wear and denting. It can help in selecting the most durable wood flooring option by providing a numerical rating for each type of wood, allowing you to compare and choose a species that is better suited for high-traffic areas or areas prone to wear and tear. The higher the Janka rating, the more durable the wood is likely to be.
