Benchmarking cpu firmwares is forbidden by the license (same thing for databases)
- mycall 7y agoI would setup a scenario where safety is a concern (V2V) so you could get court order to benchmark firmware.
- gambiting 7y agoWhat licence? You don't have to agree to a licence to use a CPU. I mean Intel might think otherwise, but those kinds of licences("you agree to this licence by just opening the product") are not worth the paper they are written on in EU, so even if there is such a licence it wouldn't be applicable everywhere.
