| sc94597 said: At similar clocks to the 7300HQ a 2 cluster A78C setup has about twice the performance of the i5 7300HQ (and nearly 25% higher IPC.) 1010 single-core and 5335 multi-core in Geekbench 5 https://x.com/TheGalox_/status/1462968579150729222/photo/1 versus 870 single-core and 2764 multi-core in Geekbench 5. At 35-40% of the performance (assuming linear frequency-performance scaling, which we probably shouldn't, but it's all we got), we're looking at a multi-core ~ 2000 for an A78C @1Ghz-1.1Ghz vs. 2764 for the i5 7300HQ. That's about 70% of the performance. |
My mistake, I looked at a different Orin chipset regarding the CPU configuration.
Still, like I said, synthetic benchmarks flatter ARM immensely compared to x86 - Geekbench even more so than PassMark. That's mainly because x86 natively supports a million more complex instructions than ARM, so in IRL scenarios things can be a bit different.
It's a much better CPU than the Switch 1, though, which is probably what Nintendo cares about.
