We are working on complete data of SPEC CPU 2K/2006 on Core 2 Duo.
It will take about a week. Our earlier, mid Jan., SPEC CPU 2006 shows:
FP performance regressions of the recent GCC 4.2 (revision 120817)
compiler against September GCC 4.2 (revision 116799)
410.bwaves -6.3%
433.milc -7.0%
437.leslie3d -25.4%
450.soplex -3.9%
459.GemsFDTD -18.3%
465.tonto -2.5%
470.lbm -4.1%
481.wrf -2.7%
