EL DORADO HILLS, Calif.,
April 5, 2012
/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Embedded Microprocessor
Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) today announced that Dell Inc.
(Nasdaq: DELL), a leader in worldwide innovative technology,
business solutions and services, is the consortium's newest member.
Dell has joined the association's Consumer Subcommittee, which
includes the working groups focusing on developing mobile device
benchmarks, especially in the area of smartphone and tablet
benchmarking.
EEMBC was formed in 1997 to develop meaningful performance
benchmarks for the hardware and software used in embedded systems.
EEMBC benchmarks help predict the performance of embedded
processors and systems in a range of applications (i.e.
automotive/industrial, digital imaging and entertainment,
networking, office automation, telecommunications, and connected
devices) and disciplines (processor core functionality,
floating-point, Java, multicore, and energy consumption). The new
EEMBC BrowsingBench and AndEBench provide unbiased measurement of
the browsing and Android experience of smartphones and other
connected devices.
"We welcome Dell to the consortium and look forward to the
insight that they can offer to help EEMBC define and create our
next generation AndEBench and BrowsingBench benchmark suites," said
EEMBC President Markus Levy. "Dell
involvement in our working groups will ensure a fair and equitable
benchmark for the industry."
"As a member of the Consumer Subcommittee, Dell will utilize
EEMBC benchmark standards to help select the most effective
processing solutions for our next generation of tablets and mobile
devices, as well as contributing to EEMBC BrowsingBench, AndEBench,
and other relevant benchmark suites" said Brian Zucker, Director of Performance
Engineering at Dell. "Benchmarks such as BrowsingBench benefit our
customers by enabling industry standard performance measurements
for key user activities like web browsing."
