Does EEMBC perform board-level or system-level benchmarking?
The Version 1.0 benchmarks are processor benchmarks. However, the board and/or system can make a significant difference in processor performance (for example, the memory subsystem is one aspect that can dictate performance). EEMBC’s second-generation benchmarks, specifically for Networking and Digital Entertainment are system-level benchmarks. The same is true for EEMBC’s Java benchmarks which can be run directly on a mobile phone platform.
