I was about to be shocked because I thought r23 wasn't recompiled for arm... then meh. Truth is Apple is about as good(but slightly worse) and they feel like the margins are worth it.

Bonus: I'd like to see Apple's GPU up against an Iris Xe.

Pretty interesting how the top 2 are both laptop parts. Workstation-type parts are way down the list.

That's suspicious to me - is cinebench doing different things based on detecting whether it's running on a laptop vs desktop?

It might be reasonable to use different measures due to different expected uses, but if it does do that it can't put the results in the same list.

No, mobile chips have been increasingly outperforming chips with more favorable thermal budgets for a long time. Efficiency isn’t just a goal in itself, it makes the chip design better overall.

Top spots might be for sale like supermarket shelving. IRL Ryzen 5 5600X reaches 1572 single core, and Ryzen 9 5950X scores 1639. AMD is king of both single and multi R23.

This makes sense to me as a curious party who isn’t well versed in semiconductors. Low power has driven all of the high performance chip innovation for a long time now.

Is this Cinebench compiled for ARM or using Rosetta?

Why isn't zen 3 on the ranking leaderboard?
