Take a close look at the hardware used in the SSDF both programs are pitted
using the same Hardware. Now that is another reason why the WMCCC is so
unsignificant, since all the programs are not using a standard hardware for
single processor and for the one competing under Multi processors. Plus we all
understand that all programmers bring their latest version to this match. That
is exactly the point that I'm making here, the SSDF is the best way to get an
idea of how good a program is.
