Building The Linux Kernel In 60 Seconds

I don't have time to get better data, i.e. I couldn't find any MFLOPS data for a mobile CPU (not GPU), so just quickly unscientifically:

Texas Instruments OMAP4460 (in Galaxy Nexus at 1,2 GHz): 2047.7 BogoMIPS

1.7 GHz Xeon from 2006 (the small EC2 instance, single-core): 5203.55 BogoMIPS

Would be interesting to see some real benchmarks though..

You dont want flops figures - no floating point is used to compile.

Bogomips lives up to its name.

I suspect that compiling has fairly poor locality and is quite cache dependent, so you might be better off just benchmarking on a mobile cpu.

Not a great test either but better then the above:

  Geekbench 2 on iPhone 4S: 617
  Geekbench 2 32bit on iMac i7 @ 2.80GHz: 8557
