Willus.com's 2011 Win32/64 C Compiler Benchmarks:
I. BACKGROUND

5. Test Hardware

I didn't feel as compelled to run these codes on a bunch of different systems this time, as I did in 2002. Intel Core-i3/i5/i7 chips are quite prevalent now, and I'm lazy, so, with no disrespect intended towards AMD and other non-Intel x86 CPUs, I ran the benchmarks only on my home PC, a 2010-vintage system with a Core i5-670 CPU that turbo boosts to 3.73 GHz. My motherboard is an Asus P7H57D-V EVO with 16 GB of DDR-3 1333 MHz RAM. The O/S is 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I was careful to disable antivirus programs (after disconnecting from the internet) during the testing so that they did not affect the results.
