The author describes the new CPU benchmark suites from the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC). The author describes the reasons for the release, and analyzes and compares new suites with the SPEC Release 1 benchmark suite. The new benchmark CPU suites are CINT2.0 (integer) and CFP2.0 (floating-point). CINT2.0 and CFP2.0 replace the SPEC Release 1 benchmark suite. The new suites provide a wider 'SPECtrum' of performance characterization by adding new application benchmarks.>
