geekbench is no where near a good measure of performance. Give the phoronix test suite a run and then let's talk.

- jmole 6y agogeekbench is exactly what people refer to when they claim the iPad Pro is just as fast as a MacBook: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/05/12/ipad-pro-vs-macbook-air-vs-macbook-pro/#:~:text=The%20%E2%80%8CiPad%20Pro%E2%80%8C%20earned%20a,multi%2Dcore%20score%20of%203621.&text=The%20%E2%80%8CMacBook%20Air%E2%80%8C%20earned%20a,multi%2Dcore%20score%20of%202350 https://www.macrumors.com/2020/05/12/ipad-pro-vs-macbook-air....
- Symmetry 6y agoIt also does well enough on Spec to make that plausible. Though the processor on a MacBook is has a clockrate much slower than the design sweet spot. If Intel had targeted 1.1 GHz operation for their Core processors they'd have much shorter pipelines and cache latencies. https://www.anandtech.com/show/15813/arm-cortex-a78-cortex-x1-cpu-ip-diverging/4 https://www.anandtech.com/show/15813/arm-cortex-a78-cortex-x...
- Symmetry 6y agoYou want to examine the individual subscores to make sure it's not just hardware acceleration but it's generally as good a measure as any other, at least with version 5. There were previous versions that had different working set sizes for different platforms and that was a major source of error. EDIT: In the end the only really good benchmark is your particular workload run on the processor. Everything else is just evidence towards what that'll be.
