Is geekbench accurate at comparing across different architectures?

If anything, I feel like many tests are based on x86 special instructions like AES, which does not directly translate to other tasks. But for most of the tasks I think it wouldn't be possible that the processor are only better at those and performance of most program should correlate with geekbench score.

ARM has AES instruction extensions, and IIRC iPhones have had them for some time.
