SPEC Releases SPECviewperf 15.0.1 For Linux

([Hardware] 85 Minutes Ago SPECviewperf 15.0.1)


SPEC back in May 2025 introduced SPECViewPerf 15 as the newest major release of this industry-standard workstation graphics benchmark. Sadly, the Linux support once again fell behind with SPECViewPerf 15 only debuting on Microsoft Windows. Today though Linux has caught up with SPEC releasing a Linux-native build of SPECViewPerf 15.0.1.

SPECViewPerf 15.0.1 is out today as a big update over SPECViewPerf 2020 as the prior Linux version. This Linux build is available both for x86_64 and AArch64 workstations.

While SPECViewPerf 15 on Windows added DirectX 12 and Vulkan graphics API support, the Linux version of SPECViewPerf 15.0.1 is only for OpenGL 4.5.

Those interested can learn more about SPECViewPerf 15 for Linux via [1]SPEC.org . I'll be running some SPECViewPerf 15.0.1 Linux benchmarks for some upcoming workstation GPU and driver benchmarks.

Mac Beer: At first, came only a 16-oz. can, but now comes in a 32-oz.
can. Considered by many to be a "light" beer. All the cans look
identical. When you take one from the fridge, it opens itself. The
ingredients list is not on the can. If you call to ask about the
ingredients, you are told that "you don't need to know." A notice on the
side reminds you to drag your empties to the trashcan.
