Most apps do not use Apple’s Accelerate framework.
- svantana 1y agoWhat do you base this on? I use it in all my products and I don't see why any performance-sensitive dev outfit wouldn't at least consider using it.
- saagarjha 1y agoMost dev outfits are not performance-sensitive
- mpweiher 1y agoThe the whole benchmark discussion becomes moot, doesn't it?
- saagarjha 1y agoBenchmarking a processor for real-world usage is definitely something you can do.
- danielheath 1y agoBenchmarking a processor for "app written by someone who disregards performance" is something you can do, but it's a bit of a pointless exercise; no processor will ever keep up with developers ability to write slow code.
- tsimionescu 1y agoAn important question people care about is "will my day to day computing improve with the new processor?".
- gilgoomesh 1y agoOf course. And these are CPU vector instructions, so the saying "The wider the SIMD, the narrower the audience" applies. But ultimately with a benchmark like Geekbench, you're trusting them to pick a weighting. Geekbench 6 is not any different in that regard to Geekbench 5 – it's not going to directly reflect every app you run. I was really just pointing out that the idea that "no" apps use SME is wrong and therefore including it does not invalidate anything – it very well could speed up your apps, depending on what you use.
