Yesterday I created a simple script to benchmark CPU's instruction execution speed with Python. I should not have use numpy since this library degraded the MIPS result a lot.
Another run for fun small Python program to benchmark your CPU's instruction speed (MIPS) is here. Just run (no dependency at all!) and enjoy the result.

@maulanahirzan Seems to run faster writing output to a file than to the terminal (in my test).
screen:
=> Result : 1220176.98 IPS / 1.22 MIPS
(~ 5 sconds)
file:
=> Result : 8626522.56 IPS / 8.63 MIPS
(< 1 second)
@jspath55 I see. thanks for the feedback. I will test it immediately. 😊
EDIT: found the culprit in the run function. Thanks to you I found what code that degrades the MIPS result. The result still good with normal stdout now. I will update the git immediately. feel free to test it again.😉
@maulanahirzan More consistent results now, a range of +/- 20% overhead on my tests?
$ python3 ./MIPSBenchmark_2.py | grep MIPS\$
=> Result : 48304223.15 IPS / 48.30 MIPS
