If you're an AMD fanboy, you'd only care about Cinebench despite the fact that its results do not correlate with gaming or other common applications such as browsing, Excel, video editing, etc.
There's a reason why x86 CPU users will only want to compare Apple Silicon using Cinebench. It's because Cinebench uses Intel Embree, which is hand optimized for x86 instructions. It's like testing Ryzen or Core CPUs on software optimized for ARM instructions, and then making a conclusion on how fast they are for x86 applications.
Use Geekbench.
- Dalewyn 3y agoIdeally you would run a suite of various benchmarks and workloads and pass judgment on the overall results, rather than basing it on just one specific test or another. They're all going to be biased one way or another. You also didn't answer my question: Would you likewise advise against Cinebench if the colors were reversed? As it is, you're advising against Cinebench just because it favors Intel.
- senttoschool 3y agoI’m advising against cinebench for any general purpose CPU testing. Far too many people, YouTubers, and hardware websites draw conclusion about the speed of the CPU and perf per watt using only Cinebench.
- Dalewyn 3y agoI can drink to that. No singular test is going to give a complete picture.
