Since 1997, EEMBC’s goal has been to provide a service to all constituents of the embedded world (including processor and compiler vendors and system developers). In our continuing effort to provide this service, we bring you the EEMBC CoreMark. Our original goal with CoreMark was to replace the once-useful-but-now-antiquated Dhrystone benchmark, and therefore, we have set it up so you can download CoreMark for free. In our initial testing, we have found that CoreMark provides a good starting point for analyzing a processor performance.
You wouldn’t judge a book by its cover, so don’t judge a processor [only] by its core. So, although CoreMark is free, you’ll definitely want to use EEMBC’s application benchmarks which you can easily license for a fee.

Free is good and you also get what you pay for.

As I send an e-mail to EEMBC in order to be board member. I also interested in the CoreMark. I will test the benchmark and use it.
