       Stress test a system in various selectable ways, exercising both various
       physical subsystems and various operating system kernel interfaces:
-      - over 60 different stress tests
-      - over 50 CPU specific stress tests that exercise floating point,
+      - over 130 different stress tests
+      - over 70 CPU specific stress tests that exercise floating point,
         integer, bit manipulation and control flow
       - over 20 virtual memory stress tests
       stress-ng was originally intended to make a machine work hard and trip
