As a benchmarking engineer working in a company that bought a license, I have
access to the source code wink

Awesome dude. Are you going to

1) technically justify all the obvious shortcomings of Geekbench,
2) technically criticize all the obvious shortcomings of Geekbench,
3) or simply give them a pass as "boys being boys"?

Many contemporary ARM chips and the systems they go into could easily
run SPEC CPU 2006 with modest effort. The fact that ARM and all its
licensees and allies have failed to submit a single run despite having
explicit desire for roles in desktop and server computing and instead
relied on Geekbench (or worse!) for marketing purposes suggests the
difference between poor benchmarking and best currently available
benchmarking is fair from an academic anomaly but rather a strategy
serving important corporate interests by exaggerating the capabilities
of a certain family of chips.

BTW, you failed to address any of my other points in my previous
post. Surely as a "benchmarking engineer" you have some valuable
and insightful comments to add in support or in opposition?
