SPECint_rate_base2006 : 2699A v4 vs 2699 v4 : no difference?

[RDaut]

1)

Processor [1] and [2] both have the same SPECint_rate_base2006 of 1810.

The [2]/A processor runs at 200Mhz higehr frequency.

We're trying to make a purchasing decision based on performance.. can somebody please explain why SPECint_rate_base2006 is the same for both processors?

[1] and [2] have links too to the intel.com web pages accordingly (click on Benchmarks tab there).

2)

More minor: The [2]/A processor doesn't have SPECfp_rate_base2006 metric published .. any idea why?

Hello Tagar,

Thank you for contacting the Intel community. I'm sorry; may I ask where are you getting this information from "SPECint_rate_base2006"? You can also compare both processors here:https://ark.intel.com/compare/91317,96899 https://ark.intel.com/compare/91317,96899 Regards, Ivan.

Hi Ivan,

"SPECint_rate_base2006" isn't on the comparison table

Follow links I sent in me previous post

=> Then click on "Benchmarks" tab there

Those benchmark metrics will be at the very top of that page.

Thanks

Thank you Tagar, I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you right now; honestly I'm not familiar with "SPECfp_rate_base2006 metric".

Would you mind pointing me to those websites where you are getting this metrics from? Thanks, Ivan.
