CoreMark is a benchmark from the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC®). It targets testing a processor’s CPU core for basic pipeline structure, as well as basic read/write, integer, and control operations. (Link). Coremark/MHz simply divides the result by CPU frequency and is just a rough indicator (discounts number of cores, as well as frequency scaling).
