Geekbench exposes some strange behaviour around the memory allocator under Windows. On systems with more than 8 cores Geekbench spends a significant chunk of time in the memory allocator due to contention. This issue (at least to this degree) isn't present on Linux, so that's why Epyc scores are much higher on Linux than Windows.

The 6700 result you selected is significantly faster than the average for the 6700: http://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks

Maybe it's overclocked? If you look at the averages for the 3770 and the 6700 Geekbench reports a difference of 20% for single core.

Unfortunately the Samsung Chromebox Series 3 uses an Intel processor, not an ARM processor.

A slightly less "friendly" alternative to an ARM-based Chromebox would be the NVIDIA Jetson TK1. It's a developer board with an actively-cooled Tegra K1 SoC. We've been experimenting with these boards over the last two weeks and haven't encountered any stability problems. We're not pushing them as hard as Linaro does but we're certainly putting them through their paces.

AArch64 instructions are still 32 bits long. These slides from the ARMv8 Technology Preview provide a great overview of the ARMv8 architecture:

http://www.arm.com/files/downloads/ARMv8_Architecture.pdf

While Geekbench is updated frequently, the actual benchmark code is virtually unchanged since 2.0.0 was released.

Not all handsets are included in the chart. The Geekbench Browser has a list of handsets which it uses to build the benchmark chart. This list contains model and processor information and is manually maintained; if a handset isn't in the list, it's not included in the chart. I thought all of the S3 models were included in this list, but apparently I'm wrong. I'll make sure this list is up to date.

Geekbench is built with the NDK (since all of the benchmarks are written in C or C++). There was a bug in Android 4.0.3 and earlier that caused Android to select the ARMv5 libraries instead of the ARMv7 libraries (which caused a massive drop in performance). This was fixed in 4.0.4 which is why there's a huge jump in performance between the two versions on the One X.

Geekbench developer here.

Out of curiosity I built Geekbench with Xcode 4.5 (it's not available on the App Store yet) and took a look at the code generated for the armv7 and the armv7s architectures. Surprisingly there weren't a lot of differences between the two. The biggest difference I saw was that Xcode uses conditional VFP instructions (e.g., vaddeq.f64) for the armv7s but doesn't use them for the armv7 despite the fact that these instructions are supported by the armv7. My guess is that the A6 implementation of these instructions is much faster, but I won't know for sure until I can run benchmarks on the iPhone 5 myself.

Also, I could only find two instructions (sdiv and udiv) that Xcode generates for the armv7s architecture that aren't supported by the armv7 architecture.

The results on the chart aren't averaged by name; they're averaged by name, by processor, and by processor frequency. We're aware that many Android devices with the same name use different processors, and of the fact that many Android devices are both over- and under-clocked by enthusiasts.

Sorry if this wasn't clear from the preamble on the chart; I'll have to update it.
