    Viknet reacted to Doug S's post in the thread Question CPU Microarchitecture Thread with Like.

    That's a terrible take. You're comparing a state of the art x86 core against a core far worse than the state of the art in ARM land. Put...

    268V 2057 points? nah that test is Cinebench 2024 MT, where 268V scores barely above 600 points (of course, also because of the low...
