It is common to compare benchmarking performance among various processor solutions from different vendors and good news now, the EEMBC (Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium) has just announced its first free benchmarking tool targeted for embedded systems. Named as CoreMark 1.0, it intends to give consumers an alternative solution to Dhrystone test that is widely accepted in the industry so that at least we are aware of how good our processors can perform in daily applications.
In conjunction with the release, the consortium has just launched a new Coremark.org website that allows users to publish their own benchmarking scores together with setup details for fairer comparison. Currently CoreMark 1.0 supports a wide number of processors ranging from 8-bit microcontrollers up to 32-bit X86 architectures.
