That gives some hope that Moore's law isn't quite dead yet.
That said, the score came from Geekbench, which I believe isn't considered to be very representative of real application performance.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoGeekbench is not so bad, like Passmark or those SEO spam benchmark sites you see on Google. But the best benchmark is always the apps you are CPU constrained in.
- jychang 3y agoThe app that stresses my CPU the most is Geekbench lol
- CamperBob2 3y agoWhat are some of the criticisms against Passmark scores? I maintain some documentation that cites them as a basis for recommending PCs for specialized applications, so if that's a bad idea it'd be good to know.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoThere is some controversy over "fixing" the results in the past, as well as weird personal behavior from the owners: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/ykx4yd/i_knew_userbenchmark_was_bad_but_i_didnt_known_it/ https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/ykx4yd/i_knew_use... But bottom line is you want a benchmark that represents your actual application rather than some unrelated synthetic test. I do like geekbench more because its a big bucket of "real" applications without the associated controversy, but its still less than ideal.
- SpecialistK 3y agoAFAIK, Passmark and UserBenchmark are not the same thing. UBM is the one that's so bad it's a meme.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoAh I think you are right, but still: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/fhzn0e/passmark_follows_userbenchmark_and_adjusts/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/fhzn0e/passmark_follow... I remember controversy from both, but theres a lot of noise when I try to go back and look outside of Reddit (which is not always the most reliable source).
