Geekbench is biased towards Apple Silicon for whatever reason. Take a look at any other benchmarks, preferably ones that test real world workloads.

- JohnBooty 2y agoWhat do you recommend?
- dagmx 2y agoThis is a claim that has never been backed up by anything verifiable. Could you expand upon it?
- Rohansi 2y agoI am not suggesting that Geekbench is intentionally favoring Apple Silicon. The code the benchmark runs just happens to run better on Apple Silicon. And Geekbench also poorly scales with higher core counts so multicore scores are almost useless. IMO with benchmarks it's never a good idea to rely on a single score. You should compare many different scores. Preferably with benchmarks that test workloads you will actually make use of.
- dagmx 2y agoBut even then, what benchmarks contradict it? You’re claiming an inherent bias, but other benchmarks also run just as well on Apple Silicon when normalized for core count. Cinebench, Specs etc…
