I'm not going to say that the A14 cpu is slow or anything but this is geekbench... a little while back there were reports showing the a12 as being more powerful than an 32 core epyc (seems to be fixed now) and there are plenty of reports showing that there can be differences in results from the different compilers being used on different platforms.
Now I'll admit I'm not a fan of geekbench in all honesty and the only way it's actually useful imo is 'like for like' on the same platform and even then I wouldn't trust it implicitly. I'd rather see some more real world tests, like how long something in photoshop takes, how long a heavy 3D render takes that sort of thing, it's far more useful than benchmarks imo.
I never trusted or used Geekbench, even for mobile phones. Especially with phones that mostly do light and maybe some mid-range tasks, in real usage (browsing, camera, social networking) slower phones can look as fast as flagships.
But will it play Crysis Remastered?
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
