Epinephrine, I guess I should have added what my main objection of SPEC is. It is that the benchmark of the compilers as much if not more so that benchmark of the processors / architecture. It is unlikely that that people buying the P4 or Athlon based computers will ever run applications that were: - compiled with a compiler written just to compile that application - hand coded - compiled with compiler settings as aggressive as the ones Intel uses to compile SPEC suite (I wouldn't be surprised if each individual component of SPEC was compiled with different compiler flags) If SPEC doesn't reflect any application used in the real world, what good does it do to include it?
