I tried this and run Geekbench 5.0.2

here are the results:

mitigations on score: 980 Single-Core Score 2008 Multi-Core Score

mitigations off score: 976 Single-Core Score 2741 Multi-Core Score

Its just a few numbers.. actually the test should be run multiple times and take median.

Oh and I ran it more times and it ranged from 2500 to 2900 for multicore score.

It went down by 0.5%, that's most likely irrelevant.
