Intel - Subsystem Performance (iCOMP Index 2.0)

• 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.
