I wonder what Linus thinks of Geekbench's accuracy now:

Personally I'm not convinced, until I see something like SPECint/SPECfp results.

anandtech has specint numbers for the A14, which should serve as the floor for M1 performance. M1 will (likely) clock higher, has more cores and sustain thermals longer.

I’m also interested in seeing what M1 can do once people get their hands on real hardware running on Mac OS where so many more details can’t be hidden like in iOS, but all signs point to it being an absolute monster.
