Then I guess you find Geekbench results meaningful as it ignores the GPU completely.
GeekBench is funny: OSX is 2000 points slower than Windows in cpu hungry tasks it seems. E.g.: i7-3820QM 2700 MHz. That's the power of two G5/1.6Ghz, I guess there's something badly programmed (OSX or Geekbench, who knows). BTW iPad5 points like a dual G5/1.8ghz I would prefer to see real life tests instead of semi-synthethic tests. Let's say building one or various entire projects simultaneusly or rendering, scaling 100 pictures and applying filters,... I don't see many of these wunderbar ARM high-end desktop machines available anywhere, where do I plugin various SATA HDs? can I fit a modern PCIe gfx card?
Since ARM is so great can I have an ATX board that beats or even emulates last QuadG5? Since arm is so cheap, so powerful and so widespread it should be easy to find a dozen of boards that can be bought in almost all european countries, right?
