For 30 years, SPEC’s SPECviewperf benchmark has been the go-to tool for comparing graphics performance across different systems—and it just got a major upgrade.

The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPECgwpg) released its updated SPECapc SolidWorks 2025 benchmark to provide guidance to users when selecting appropriate hardware for Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks.

On December 11, 2025, the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) announced the release of SPECviewperf 15.0.1, a pivotal update to the industry-standard benchmark for professional graphics.

=SPEC announced the availability of the SPECviewperf 15.0.1 benchmark.This release introduces snx-05, a workload based on Siemens NX 2406, rounding out the benchmark's support for high-end computer-aided design (CAD) applications.

What is the secret to giving each power user the compute they need, and, most importantly, what is the risk of failing to do so? Meet the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), more specifically, the Graphics & Workstation Performance Group (GWPG).

The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) has released the SPECviewperf 15 benchmark, an update to its tool for measuring graphics performance using professional applications.

The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), the trusted global leader in computing benchmarks, today announced the availability of the SPECworkstation 4.0 benchmark, a major update to SPEC's comprehensive tool designed to measure all key aspects of workstation performance.

The Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC) makes available the SPECapc for SOLIDWORKS 2024 benchmark, an update to SPEC’s performance evaluation software for vendors and users of computing systems running Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS 2024 CAD/CAM software.

Dassault issues updates to its SolidWorks CAD/CAM software yearly, and to help users and vendors keep pace with systems running that software, SPEC likewise updates its benchmark testing for this software. To this end, SPEC has released its SPECapc for SolidWorks 2024 benchmark.

To keep vendors and users apprised of how such updates affect the performance of computer systems running particular software, the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) builds robust standardized benchmarks and tools for evaluating that performance efficiency.
