The topic of benchmarking keeps coming up. We're working on making the next FSF release better, but it's a good idea to track how the current Linaro GCC stacks up against other releases. The summary is at: https://wiki.linaro.org/Internal/ToolChain/Now
Included is how our current 4.6 release does against FSF 4.6, the change over six months, and how the upcoming 4.7 release fairs. There's also a comparison against other compilers including the Google 4.6 and Android 4.4 branches.
A PDF version is attached to the page. The SPEC 2000 results are still coming in so I'll update the page once they arrive. Everything is generated so we'll update this with each monthly release.
