		<description>&lt;p&gt;Great points. Marketeering, and most other for-profit (and government) areas seem to have a problem with ethical presentation of their products, facts, and positions. From healthcare reform proposal \&quot;facts\&quot; (won\&#039;t have to ever change providers) to food ingredients (100% whole wheat, now often has \&quot;gluten\&quot; as the third ingredient. Gluten is the part of wheat that remains in white bread), we are being barraged with false advertising. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can fool some of the people all the time...but you can\&#039;t fool all the people all the time. as a consumer-oriented free society, we need to we need to call out these questionable ethics more often--false advertising. And then we need to not support those who do this stuff. But it will take all of us acting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW: Runtime is awful, but not as bad as Layton states (49% plus another 28.7% is really only 49% plus 28.7% of the remaining 51%).
&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Nice Explanation. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Benchmarks are not for Engineers/Technically knowledge peoples. They are for junk Marketing/Management peoples to brainwash the customers. There exists lots of Benchmarks, even some like EEMBC, SPEC sell their benchmark software\&#039;s for thousands of dollars which is worth of nothing for technical point of view, they are simply compiler benchmarks, they give how efficient/optimized the output code generated by a specific compiler rather than testing the intended target.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After working in lots of Benchmark tools and deep study in it for quite a long time I discovered it just to be a marketing tool which is no good for engineers.
&lt;/p&gt;
