This data is from the 2007 presentation. It is not surprising that there is a lot of scatter, but the factor of four range in Peak MFLOPS at fixed SPECfp_rate2000/core and the factor of four range in SPECfp_rate2000/core at fixed Peak MFLOPS was higher than I expected… (Also from the 2007 presentation.)

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. Since 2007, support for these features has barely improved. Content Indexing.

From 2007 until 2016, Intel was able to successfully execute their Tick-Tock release strategy, where they would introduce a new processor microarchitecture roughly every two years (a Tock release). They will also have up to 256MB of L3 cache per processor. So, what has changed my mind? The Death of Tick-Tock.
