They should also really measure power draw. Perhaps it has an advantage there, which is not meaningless.
Geekbench is as useful as a bike for a fish. Especially after 6.1
Also, measuring physical core vs logical core makes absolutely 0 sense. People should learn to bench 1 non smt vs 2smt since the hardware is there and is actually consuming power whether you use it or not. Just disable all physical cores but one and bench, that’s it.
Curious about the critiques of Geekbench. Looking at the composition of their benchmark, it seems somewhat reasonable.
Do you have any more in-depth articles on this topic? Genuinely curious.
Serve the home has a nice write up on it. And that’s before going into the specific snippets and weights for each test. It’s more geared to benchmark how good your pc is at opening web pages than it is at functioning as a multi purpose computing machine.
Solid MT scores, but 2,121 ST in Geekbnech is rather weak by modern standards.
Considering this is supposed to be used for entry-level laptops, I would argue single thread performance is more critical.
