Question Geekbench 6 released and calibrated against Core i7-12700

Weird choice of baseline CPU and even weird is that the baseline score is 2500.

i7-12700 does hardly 2000 in GB5 with the fastest DDR5.

Helps you make sense of the results if you are left scratching your head about why a certain test is fast on a certain CPU.

Super useful!

And in flies nvidia, AMD +10% as always.

Hardly groundbreaking.

This is a N3E iGPU vs a N4P one as well 🤣🤣

Isn’t N1X based on N3B?

Only Intel and Apple has N3B products

Doubled the performance at roughly half the power usage.

Seems slow, right?

Tiger Lake pissing on Arrow Lake in MT subtests thanks to lack of HT: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/13632590?baseline=13052431

Intel is like that stuck up girl who refuses to take the umbrella offered to her, purely out of pride and arrogance and gets soaked in...well, piss in this case

 

[LightningZ71]

Not really surprised. I9 class product with 8 big cores, slightly higher boost clock, more L3 and AVX-512 support vs. the lowest end Arrow Lake i3 class processor... Yeah, it SHOULD be better in MT at this point.

In MT, 10 core comet lake was better in MT than the lowest I3 class Alder/Rocket lake parts. The 9900KS demolishes dual core Rocket Lake and Tiger Lake parts in MT.

But the ARL 8 cores got so close. Intel could've had the first 48 thread consumer part had they only worked a bit harder to enable HT.

6.5 is out. SME support for windows on arm

 

[igor_kavinski]

Ah, so this release caters to N1X. And maybe the Sound Wave APU?

i don't think those support sme, its mostly for Qualcomm next gen WoA devices for now

Ah cool. Explains why just yesterday I saw a Snapdragon Plus laptop for under $500 for the first time ever.

Fire sales!

Cool, Mediatek Dimensity 9500 comes with SME in 4 big cores. Qualcomm upcoming X Elite and X G2 are supporting SME as well. Soundwave which is fabbed at N3P should come with X935/X930 core similar to D9500, thus should support SME.

OTOH, N1x might not...

 

[Tigerick]

Supporting SME in WoA will push up the scores. By how much, we shall know.

Meanwhile, PTL by 18A might not even support AVX512, hmm. See how bad the process will push Intel down to the bottom of performance crown...

Somebody go and spank that idiot Pat. And don't worry. I'll have the same words for LBT in 2027 if Intel hasn't done better by then.
