ROCK 3B ideas and discussion

Geekbench is also very sensitive to lib versions.

When upgrading Rock 5B from Ubuntu Focal to Ubuntu Jammy guess what happens? According to Creepbench the board got around 10% slower :rofl:

Three times tested and the results all hint at the same fact: you can’t use Geekbench for benchmarking :slight_smile:

EDIT: When comparing the Jammy (Armbian) image with Radxa’s Ubuntu other benchmarks also perform worse (e.g. 7-zip 11% slower):

Distro Clockspeed Kernel 7-zip AES-128 (16 byte) AES-256 (16 KB) memcpy memset
Focal arm64 2350/1830 MHz 5.10 16450 683350 1337540 10830 29220
Jammy arm64 2350/1830 MHz 5.10 14660 665420 1339710 10230 29240

And the reason is simple: with the Armbian Jammy image memory latency is twice as high as with Radxa’s Ubuntu. That’s why sbc-bench contains both tinymembench and ramlat numbers (the latter also in Geekbench babysitting mode). See http://ix.io/48OL vs. http://ix.io/48PC
