Fun with Benchmarks

So. It’s Sunday, you’re sick and you’re sneezing your brains out. What do you do? You compile a bunch of benchmarks, of course.

Available in PDF and Keynote, Fun with Benchmarks is a collection of the (industry standard, long-time stable and invariant) SPEC_int_rate_base2000 and SPEC_fp_rate_base2000 benchmarks that I’ve been able to collect on various Mac CPUs. Did you know even the high-end iMac and MacBook Pro are still lagging behind the last quad G5?

And yes, those are decimal commas. Go Sweden.
