Yeah, geekbench has long been known to favor iPhones. Even compared to other mobile SoCs like Qualcomm or MediaTek, it's... uh... "optimized" for what Apple chips are designed around.

Using it on a desktop for benchmarking is... Even more useless.

Basically:

  1. The single core number obviously only uses one big core, of which Apple's chip only has 2.

  2. The score only reflects the maximum burst speed (it's not expected to sustain that kind of performance for more than 10 seconds. Even using both big cores simultaneously would cut that score short due to overheating.

  3. Desktop cpu has 16 cores that are all identical, and is expected to sustain those workloads indefinitely. Servers and supercomputers run these things 24/7.

  4. The desktop cpu is on an older node as well, inherently less power efficient.

It's a bit like saying, "for 10 seconds, I can run as fast as the world's fastest marathon ~~runner~~ TEAM!". Neat factoid but still incomparable.

If China wants to pay for my next car for me, I'm fine with that.

That just makes it even easier for Wall St to enshittify whatever comes after

The problem is that the countries engaged in genocide allow the US a foothold in the middle East, so they can basically get away with anything. Losing that means throwing away all the military and strategic advantage in that region.

Tl;dr you may as well wish for a president that wants to demilitarize the US

Can't get ad revenue on a short, concise, and helpful page.

Even a basic cookie recipe requires someone's whole life story to fill in the blank space between 10 ads

It's pretty obvious why lol.

90% of the calls I receive are spam.

Calling demands that I pick up the phone RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. Bitch, if it ain't a life threatening emergency I'm not dropping everything I'm working on for you.

Texting allows me to respond when it's convenient for me.

Text generally takes 3 seconds to get the point across instead of having a whole conversation about it

It is the Texas of Canada... And sometimes they forget they aren't actually Texas

But at the same time I wouldn't throw 500 lb weights in the back and drive around claiming it didn't impact performance.

Yeah, you put it in the driver's seat

Ayyyoooooooo
