@m0xee @meso ok mr thread necroer

the rpi4b uses 7.6 watts at max load to achieve a best case geekbench 5 score of 734
the e5-2620 v4 at max load uses 85 watts to achieve a best case geekbench score of 9238

rpi4b = 96.5 pts per watt
e5-2620 v4 = 108.6 pts per watt

you can look at geekbench results this week to compare yourself, make sure you don't get wackos who disable cores or run a VM or something that skews results

anyway checkmate athetits

Oops! 😊
> at max load
Well, sure, if that's what you are aiming for while keeping it running 24/7 — Xeon is better hands down, but in reality it'd be idling most of the time and RPi should be a lot better at it.
I own a dual quad-core Xeon (X5482 older than the one on your screenshot) Mac Pro myself and I definitely do not want this fscking thing running 24/7 🤷

@m0xee @meso anything older than haswell gets to be a bit nasty to deal with for power consumption, hardware age, old ass firmware, etc.

and i got like 35 VMs there ain't no "idling" here lol

Heh, makes perfect sense in your scenario!
Yes, they did get way better, even Nehalem was better than the one I have, but still a far shot from ARM systems in terms of power efficiency.
I also have a dual CPU PowerMac G5 — this is where it gets real nasty 😂
