They have been +optimized for different processors. FPU and ALU instructions are +coded an assembler endless loop. They do not test every instruction. +The goal has been to maximize heat production from the CPU, putting +stress on the CPU itself, cooling system, motherboard (especially +voltage regulators) and power supply (likely cause of burnBX/MMX +errors). |
