geekbench results cannot be compared across platforms.
Why not?
- dagmx 1mo 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 1mo agoNo, because the software layers between GeekBench and the hardware are not identical on all targets.
- dagmx 1mo 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.
