When I see those benchmarks I wonder what they are actually measuring because it's very likely not general purpose compute.


Geekbench is a fairly understood metric isn’t it?

It at least attempts to simulate ‘general’ workloads.


I don't know what goes in to the benchmark but if Apple had CPUs that outperform last gen 35-45W chip with a 5-10w one in a passively cooled 5 inch phone everyone and their mother would be reverse engineering their designs and building ARM datacenters. From what I've seen so far all the server ARM CPUs struggle to reach x86 performance.

Isn't this (more or less) NUVIA's strategy?

Looks like a variety of workloads, but lots of things that can be greatly improved with co-procesors. Like cryptography, image compression, image processing, etc.

"Geekbench 5 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 1,000 (which is the score of a Dell Precision 3430 with a Core i3-8100 processor)"


Why not? What's wrong with geekbench?
