Taking for example encryption, isn't it an unfair workload? Encryption is hardware accelerated nowadays, which means you won't get an apples-to-apples (heh) comparison of processors and computers.
- upbeat_general 5y agoYes. I’m not sure exactly how geekbench implements it but that’s certainly a big downside. Perhaps geekbench runs it without any hardware acceleration (to just test a different type of workload) but it might just use whatever hardware available. As an end-user I’m okay with that, because at the end of the day if things run faster I don’t really care how, especially for tasks that are ubiquitous.
