I would like to contribute new SPEC CINT 2000 results as they are posted to the SPEC benchmark list by semiconductor manufacturers. I expect to post perhaps 10 times per year with this news. This is the source data for my Human Equivalent Computing spreadsheet and regression line.
If Kurzweil and Mike Deering are right, then the new processor benchmarks should mostly appear above the existing regression line. [I hope there is time to make Cyc -or some other AGI software - safely smart before the danger of spontaneous emergence arrives.] -Steve On Tue, 18 Feb 2003, Mike Deering wrote: > Unless Ben thinks it would not be appropriate for this list, I would like to start a >"doubling time" watcher monthly posting of retail computer prices for purposes of >establishing a historical record so that questions of doubling time can be grounded >in current data. > > My choice of category is "most bang for the buck" complete system from a major >retailer or manufacturer.
