- iCOMP Index 2.0 reflects approximate, relative performance of Intel microprocessors on 32-bit
applications and benchmarks.
- It is not a benchmark, but a collection of benchmarks used to calculate an index of
relative processor performance intended to help end users decide which Intel
microprocessor best meets their computing needs. iCOMP Index 2.0 comprehends:
- The accelerating transition to 32-bit operating systems and applications on the desktop.
- The proliferation of multimedia, communications and 3D applications.
- Updated industry-standard benchmarks appropriate for emerging popular application
profiles.
- The iCOMP Index 2.0 ratings cannot be compared with the earlier version of iCOMP because
different benchmarks are used.
- The iCOMP Index 2.0 rating is based on the technical categories that encompass three
separate aspects of 32-bit CPU performance:
- Integer,
- Floating-point, and
- Multimedia. The multimedia portion is further divided into four sub-components: Audio,
Imaging, Video and 3-D.
- Benchmarks
CPUmark32, Norton SI-32, SPECInt95, SPECfp95 and Intel Media Benchmark.
