A new benchmark has been released which accurately measures the speed of any computer. The computer is pushed off the top of a building, and speed calculated by multiplying by 32.2 fps squared.
The MIPS (Meaningless Index of Plummeting Speed) rating is the raw value times the number of CPUs. This is called the FallingStone benchmark.
