How do they have one? How do we know these are real numbers?

- oneplane 6y agoHow do we know anything? Is this real life? I believe we simply assume that the reputation and trust built over time allows us to take the numbers as 'real enough' from that program & website.
- trimbo 6y agoBut isn't this just another thing people download to run benchmarks and then the result is uploaded? Anyway, answering my own question: multiple results have been uploaded in the past two days and uploaded by anonymous users. Maybe tech reviewers running it with devices they received early? https://gfxbench.com/allresults.jsp?order=date&page=1&D=Apple+M1&benchmark=gfx50 https://gfxbench.com/allresults.jsp?order=date&page=1&D=Appl...

- oneplane 6y agoNo, that's because some of the people don't have first principles and trust at all and instead of validating they just make stuff up ;-) I was trying to point out that disputing things is fine, but the whole basis of a website where benchmarks are uploaded is trust-and-reputation-over-time to the point where enough other people can re-run the same tests on their machines (one they get them) to validate the results. Heck, you might almost call that science! Right now, there aren't additional results and you can't easily reproduce them because the machines aren't wide spread or available. But we can take the track record and reputation of the site and application and use that to value the integrity of the published benchmarks to be 'likely correct'.
