I use specint 2000 for the calculations.  I do not test node counts (although
that would be good for a specific program, HW has different effects on
programs).  I think the specint 2000 is correct for the two you questioned,
however, performance for different programs may vary.

In the past people used hz (ie Mhz or Ghz) for comparison, I have found that
specint is more accurate.  I am open to better performance measures, however, I
can not check node counts for all programs and all hardware, to much for one
part time volunteer person.
