New Submission Program for Those
Who Are Not SPEC/GPC Members
  SPEC/GPC is providing new opportunities for those outside the organization's membership to have their benchmark results reviewed and, if approved, posted on the GPC News web site.

The effort is expected to increase the number of credible benchmark results that have undergone the SPEC/GPC review process. It will give those who are not SPECopc and SPECapc members the opportunity to test their systems and present their results under credible industry-standard benchmark tests.

SPEC/GPC offers a variety of options under this program:

  • The Season Ticket:

Publication of unlimited approved submissions for either SPECviewperf or SPECapc for one year for $6,000.

  • Ultimate Season Ticket:

Same as above, but company gets to publish an unlimited number of approved annual submissions for both SPECviewperf and SPECapc benchmarks for $10,000.

  • Select Season Ticket:

Company gets publication of 16 approved submissions (submission defined as one configuration running either the SPECviewperf suite or one SPECapc benchmark) over the course of the year for $2,500. Submissions will stay posted on the web site for 6 months.

  • Limited Season Ticket:

Company gets publication of 8 approved submissions over the course of the year for $1,500. Submissions will stay posted on the web site for 6 months.

  • Single Ticket Plan:
