[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 525936, member: 13739"] Ultimately, there's a reason why Apple desktops and laptops aren't directly 'benchmarked' against Windows or Linux competitors, it's impossible to get fair results that truly shows which hardware is on top when the Operating Systems are completely different. It's like weighing an object on the earth and on the moon without taking into count the difference in gravity. The same benchmarking programs aren't available on both platforms (even if they're called the same thing, they are still completely different on a code basis because they have been written for two different OS's), so the results are far from comparable. What is a Geekbench 2 score? What does it translate into in the real world? There's a plethora of similar 'score based benchmarks' available to test PC hardware, from 3dMark to Cinebench and everything in between, but ultimately they mean very little in the real world because certain tests favour certain features. Some benchmarks favour multi core processors, some favour raw speed with just one or two cores, none translate directly into real world results. A Geekbench 2 score of 1601, which has come from the extremely pro Apple site MacRoumours, really does mean nothing at all. It is close to impossible to benchmark a phone unfortunately, so we'll have to wait for some trustworthy objective reviews of the iPhone 5. Or is that expecting too much???? [/QUOTE]
