Origin of the term
editThere is no evidence that the originator of the term Whetstone for this purpose intended for it to refer to intentionally undermining the value of the benchmark. Honing code to improve the benchmark score is exactly the opposite of getting an unambiguous, objective score of the hardware capabilities. The term refers to the location of the lab at which the original benchmark was designed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ba2kell (talk • contribs) 15:20, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
