Engineering stop-energy in standards and quasi-standards bodies is nice and all, but it is so much more work than simply denying anyone the ability to ship the features that you won't. They certainly have leaders who understand the difference.

All of the SPECfp_rate2000 results were downloaded from www.spec.org, the results were sorted by processor type, and “peak floating-point operations per cycle” was manually added for each processor type. This includes all architectures, all compilers, all operating systems, and all system configurations.
