Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. "But Geekbench..." is not extraordinary evidence. Give me a board where I can do an Apple to apples comparison, booting both under the same revision of the same OS, and running industry standard benchmarks (read: plural), and then we can come to that conclusion.
- snowwrestler 9y agoNo one is stopping you from doing that experiment. > Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. "Extraordinary" is in the eye of the beholder. We have some evidence; you're welcome to believe it or not, but unless you supply alternative evidence you're not really making an argument. You're just saying "it might not be true," which is something anyone can say at any time about anything.
- hcnews 9y agoNice, that was a good explanation for your stance. I am not supporting either, just liked the turnout. Obviously this isn't my usual kind of hn comment.
- ReverseCold 9y ago"booting both under the same revision of the same OS" It should be irrelevant in Apple's case anyway since they run their own OS. If their OS is faster for a certain task than some other OS then that's part of what you would define as "faster" for a user of the device. Right? Am I missing something?
