What sort of real world things does Geekbench represent?
Are we saying that it can do CPU ray tracing as well as a threadripper, or is this more lightweight multithreading and would be an excellent webserver?
Sun had systems that were much better than x86 in high threaded environments. But ultimately in the real world x86 was better. I know my M1 Pro MacBook Pro is definitely not better than my Intel desktop when I use it for writing code.
Although it could also be operating systems and supporting software that are giving me the contrasting experience.
- enduser 5y agoIt will be interesting to see how the M1 Pro MacBook Pro stacks up against the Studio M1 Pro in real-world performance, given that over half of the Studio is dedicated to thermal management.
- olliej 5y agoI have this vague recollection the some benchmarks use long double which is a severe handicap on all x86 platforms other than win64. I can’t recall if the geek bench use of long double is a few of the c++ APIs specified in terms of long double or if it actually does real work with them.
