- Sure it does - if they are run on systems built for measuring the
- processor performance, like most manufacturers "hot boxes".
-
- It is not a prefect way of measuring performance, as no "simple"
- benchmark is, but it give you a better approximation of the actual
- performance than most other benchmarks.
-
- BTW, are there any benchmarks around that doesn't measure the system
- performace? All processors need some sort of system around to be
- useful, even if it is built into the same chip as the processor, and
- thus it will affect the performance.
