Reminder that despite their claims, geekbench results cannot be compared across platforms.
They don't only cover CPU and GPU but some OS components that can look very different on different platforms.
- aurareturn 2mo agogeekbench results cannot be compared across platforms. Why not?
- dagmx 2mo agoBecause it ruffles x86 feathers, despite geekbench corresponding very closely to SPEC as well and there being no indication that the results aren’t comparable. What people willfully conflate this with often is that you shouldn’t compare FLOP numbers between GPU arches and instead rely on benchmarks.
- throwa356262 2mo agoNo, because the software layers between GeekBench and the hardware are not identical on all targets.
- dagmx 2mo agoGeekbench when run on Asahi Linux is practically the same as when run on macOS, just like Linux and Windows in the same x86 chip don’t give significant differences.
