Due to end-of-the-year holidays, Broadcom will extend the VMmark review cycle that starts Dec 9, 2025 to four weeks (instead of the usual two weeks) and will cancel the review cycle that would normally have started on Dec 23, 2025.
Here are details of these changes:
- Dec 9, 2025: Start of the last VMmark review cycle for 2025. No change from the usual schedule, but this cycle has an extended review period; results submitted for this cycle would not be published before Jan 6, 2026.
- Dec 16, 2025: Last VMmark Review Panel meeting for 2025. Although this cycle's submissions will have an extended review period, we encourage initial review comments to be completed before this meeting. (Effectively, the extended review period is intended to give submitters more time to address issues found in this cycle's results)
- Dec 23, 2025 <Cancelled>: The VMmark review cycle that would normally have started on this date will be cancelled.
- Dec 30, 2025 <Cancelled>: This VMmark Review Panel meeting will also be cancelled.
- Jan 6, 2026: Earliest publication date for benchmark submissions received for the Dec 9, 2025 review cycle
- Jan 6, 2026: Start of the first VMmark review cycle for 2026. Submissions received after the start of the Dec 9, 2025 review cycle will begin their review cycle on Jan 6, 2026.
