iPad BLACKSHARK SHARK KSR-A0 as fast as M1 iPad Pro?

[Mr.Blacky]

I just browsed the "Top Single-Core CPU Results" in Geekbench Browser and it looks like the BLACKSHARK SHARK KSR-A0 (whatever it is) is as fast as the 2021 iPad Pro. Seems a little odd to me. 🤨

Is it a tablet like the iPad Pro?

A quick search turned out that that’s a dedicated gaming Android phone with what the manufacturer calls liquid cooling.

No but a gaming phone.

Those scores seem high compared to other Snapdragon 888 devices and even the same device. Somehow they managed to manipulate Geekbench scores and reason why Geekbench shouldn't be trusted.

Geekbench shouldn't be trusted.

What should be trusted then?

It’s a fake result uploaded by a hacker. Security isn’t great on Geekbench uploads as there are quite a few fake results online.

Common sense sometimes applies. The CPU is 1.8 GHz. Do you really think that is going to beat a 3.2 GHz M1?

Edit: I should do more research before posting. Sorry, the 1.8 GHz is a bug in Geekbench. The top speed Cortex X1 core is 2.84 GHz and it has 3 Cortex A78 cores at 2.42 GHz. The 1.8 GHz is for the 4 Cortex A55 efficiency cores. That is going to be a fast phone but whether or not it beats an M1 in Geekbench 5 is still debatable.

In other news, a 1999 Honda motorcycle does 0-60 faster than a 2021 Range Rover.

I’ll take the Range Rover.
