    I don't see Speedometer as very relevant.

    If you want to assess how well a particular CPU behaves comparing to others you need many different benchmarks.

    The 5600X and M1 scores seem quite significantly lower than what I’ve found but the overall trend holds true in that the single thread performance of the A16 Bionic beats all but the highest end X86 CPUs. WebKit also plays a bit of a role, accounting for something like 20% difference on the same device for this specific test. Also this isn’t the latest version of Speedometer there is a 2.1 now so anyone trying it out be careful you use the same revision as newer ones perform faster (I assume they use newer versions of the libraries named in the test which are more optimized over time).

    Speedometer 2.0 is developed by Apple. Of course it will be performant.

    Just tested this on my 13 pro and I got 349.

    An incredibly silly benchmark which is highly contingent on the browser.

    Appears to benchmark running a bunch of TODO js implementations in an iframe.

    Is there a benchmark for sustained performance? Its my understanding that mobile platforms aggressively throttle for thermals, and so they can provide a burst of performance but then dial it down.
