You're assuming that that benchmark reflects real-world performance, but that assumption is not necessarily correct, especially given the age of the benchmark - I would be very surprised if the most commonly used instructions / etc have not shifted since 1988.
Also, the page you linked has a number of other concerns about said benchmark.
- solarexplorer 12y agoWe are in violent agreement here. My point was just to note that the author apparently did not understand the difference between Dhrystone MIPS and "real" MIPS. He probably also did not understand that Dhrystone is an ancient benchmark that should not be used anymore. But that's what you get when don't do your own benchmarks but copy/paste numbers from marketing material...
- alexvoica 12y agoYes, I think that he might not be familiar with how DMIPS works (or what it is).
