Applied Micro Circuits Corp (AMCC), Juniper Networks, Marvell Semiconductor, Patriot Scientific, Qualcomm and Rockwell Collins have all joined the EEMBC.

With these new additions, the consortium counts 58 corporate members, including 42 board of directors members who have access to source code for all of the EEMBC benchmarks and exercise full voting rights on all issues decided by the consortium.

Among the new members, AMCC, Marvell Semiconductor and Qualcomm are joining EEMBC as board of directors members.

Juniper Networks joins as a member of the Networking Subcommittee.

Patriot Scientific joins as a member of the Consumer Subcommittee, and Rockwell Collins joins as a member of the Automotive/Industrial Subcommittee.

"As EEMBC grows, we're seeing that industry-standard processor benchmarks have applications beyond what anyone expected when this consortium was founded seven years ago", said Markus Levy, EEMBC President.

"They serve the needs of companies that want a reliable means of testing their own processors, they allow systems designers to make apples-to-apples comparisons between competing processors, and they serve the business needs of companies who are asked - increasingly - to provide customers with objective performance data for their processors".

"All these uses of EEMBC benchmarks are helping to raise standards for the embedded industry, and we welcome the contribution of these new members to making that happen".
