"SPEC releases CPU2006 benchmarks
　Update of standard for computer performance evaluation improves applications and testing for
　new generation of systems", August 24, 2006
　http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/press/release.html
　"The Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC) today released SPEC CPU2006, the latest version of
　 the non-profit group's software for evaluating compute-intensive performance across a wide range of
　 hardware systems."

　"SPEC CPU2006 replaces SPEC CPU2000, which will be phased out over the next six months. Performance
　 results from SPEC CPU2006 cannot be compared to those from CPU2000, since new benchmarks have been
　 added and existing ones changed."

　"A Sun Ultra Enterprise 2 workstation with a 296-MHz UltraSPARC II processor is the reference machine
　 for SPEC CPU2006. All benchmark results are computed as ratios against the reference machine, so bigger
　 scores are better. An initial set of 70 SPEC CPU2006 results based on testing from nine different SPEC
　 member companies are available at the SPEC web site."


CINT2006 (SPECint2006/SPECint_rate2006) for measuring compute-intensive integer performance
　12 application-based benchmarks written in C and C++ languages
CFP2006 (SPECfp2006/SPECfp_rate2006) for compute-intensive floating point performance
　17 CPU-intensive benchmarks written in C, C++, Fortran, and a mixture of C and Fortran
