Looking at Geekbench charts, I see that my Samsung phone has a faster processor than my $3000 gaming rig, and it sure as hell draws less power ... so why aren't datacenters just use phones instead of Xeon and Epyc servers, what am I missing?

- akuma73 6y agoNuvia is a startup that is planning to do just that https://nuviainc.com/blog https://nuviainc.com/blog You need to be competitive on single thread performance to have a chance at datacenter. Amdahl's law is still very relevant. Up until very very recently, the CPUs were not up to par.
- BMSmnqXAE4yfe1 6y agoNice charts ... so performance per watt is indeed 10x better for S865 vs the Ryzen.
- Tiberium 6y agoAre you sure that you compared results from the same major Geekbench version? (v4 and v5 have quite different results).
- BMSmnqXAE4yfe1 6y agoI'm just looking at the charts, v5
- dt3ft 6y agoProbably due to overheating. Your phone can do bursts of processing every now and then, but if you let it execute heavy compute operations, the phone would probably overheat and shut itself off.
- regularfry 6y agoSo would a Xeon if you pulled the heatsink off.
- BMSmnqXAE4yfe1 6y agoSo pull the insides of the phone out, attach a heatsink ... heatsinks cost less than LCD screens I reckon.

- altmind 6y agoBecause geekbench results are not comparable across the platforms/OS. The scale is not consistent.
