<font color=red>No I would prefer the Top500 Method for baselining IPC

top500.org

I did a brief scan and didn't even see a Intel x86 CPU listed. top500.org

I did find a Athlon
439 Self-made Presto III Athlon 1.333 GHz 77.4 Tokyo Institute of Technology Tokyo Japan 2000 Academic 78 104 75160 25000
440 NEC SX-4/40H2 77.2 HWW/Universitaet Stuttgart Stuttgart Germany 1999 Industry 40 80 . .

Interesting side note ASCI cs.sandia.gov

Re: All new ideas are welcome.

Cool.

How about using the number of instructions the CPU process per second? Like AMD does.

As opposed to the number of times its internal clock oscillates, regardless of whether or not it may be able to process any additional code, the way Intel currently rates their chips.
