| Case Study: Custom Benchmark Analysis—Making the Numbers Work For You |
By BDTI, 7/18/2007
Processor designers, marketers, and users with a sophisticated understanding of benchmarks know that raw benchmark results rarely give the most accurate picture of processor performance for a specific application scenario. While useful for providing a general impression of processor capabilities, raw benchmark results must be adapted to give a clear sense of how processors will perform in a particular application.

| Case Study: Early Benchmarking Yields Better Products |
By BDTI, 6/20/2007
Chip and IP vendors typically utilize benchmarks for marketing purposes—specifically, to demonstrate the capabilities of their products to prospective customers. But such vendors are missing half the picture: during the design of a processor, subsystem, or chip, good benchmarks are invaluable for ensuring that the design is as good as it can be.
